The Poynter Institute has noted a rising concern among journalists regarding threats to their freedom to report. Many in the field are anxious about the increase in lawsuits, the political characterization of journalism as 'fake news,' and the need to better secure their work and sources. A free webinar is being organized to address these critical questions, featuring expert advice from prominent media lawyers. The discussion will equip journalists with strategies to navigate the current legal landscape and safeguard their journalistic integrity.
Poynter's building has the First Amendment etched at its entrance for a reason. It's a reminder of the constitutional protection establishing a free press as an enshrined right, fundamental to a healthy American democracy.
These legal concerns strike at the heart of our ability as journalists to seek out the truth and share that truth with audiences that depend on us.
As we think through the most important questions to ask, we'd love to hear what's on your mind. Let us know your questions here.
Journalism ethics expert Kelly McBride and I will try to answer some of these questions in a free webinar.
