Deadline: 20 June 2012
Open to: Journalists interested in media law
Venue: Wednesday, June 20, 2012 4:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m., Washington D.C./ online broadcast
Description
The Center for International Media Assistance at the National Endowment for Democracy and the International Senior Lawyers Project are holding a panel that will be webcast live on “Media Law Reform 2.0: Advancing Press Freedom and Independent Media Around the World.”
The legal environment for journalists is an essential, but often-overlooked element in efforts to develop independent media, organizers say. As a new report by CIMA notes, the bulk of international media assistance is spent on training and direct support of independent media, with insufficient attention to some of the most basic needs of journalists: legal protection and sound media law. This panel is designed to fill this gap.
Eligibility
Journalists interested in media law can attend a free webinar June 20.
Venue
The panel will be held in Washington, D.C., USA on Wednesday, June 20, 2012 4:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. local time. The broadcast from the event will be also available online here.
