Defamation? Invasion of privacy? Intellectual property infringement?! When you’re producing media coverage (e.g., as a news outlet or a podcaster) there are so many legal risks to keep in mind. But don’t fear!

In collaboration with FIRE’s Student Press Freedom Initiative (SPFI), Lindsie Rank, Esq. will moderate a panel on the legal challenges faced by media professionals.  In particular this discussion will engage an insider’s perspective on how student journalists deal with legal issues such as defamation, public records, and freedom of the press.

This event is free and open to the public. Students can earn Campus Life Experience (CLE) credit.

This is just one of many events we are hosting on First Amendment Day!
