Essential Media Law for Media, Comms and PR Professionals

Legal1

Date: Thursday, January 30, 2025

Media law can be a minefield, can’t it?
But in our next webinar we aim to help you better navigate it.

Whether you have responsibility for a website, corporate social media accounts, video updates, blogs or podcasts, you need a good grasp of media law. We are all publishers now and subject to the multiple laws in this area.

Good training in the risks and what to do about them can help avoid costly and time-consuming legal problems.

Join our expert, journalist, author and legal expert David Banks as we get into 

  • How to avoid libel and defamation
  • Adhering to copyright
  • What you can and cannot say in your content
  • Potential legal implications of creating and publishing content using AI

We're going live at 11am on 30th January.
