IAJ: Media Law

The Institute for the Advancement of Journalism (IAJ) is conducting a two-day course on Media Law on 28 June 2009 in Johannesburg.

This two-day course will examine the key features of media law of relevance to journalists, editors, producers and broadcasters. The course will cover freedom of expression and the media, the law of defamation, the law of privacy and access to information, contempt of court and hate speech. Various topical issues, such as the Health Ministers privacy case against the Sunday Times, and Noseweeks case against First Rand, will be debated. Practical exercises and examples will be used to illustrate how these rules apply in practice.
