“What’s New in NJ Media Law?” program on February 19, 2016, 11 AM – 2 PM

UPDATE (1/30/2016): The Forum has been moved to Newark. The new location is Room 395 of Rutgers Law School (Newark campus), 123 Washington St. Also, the event is now FREE, but registration is still required so as to maintain a head count for the purposes of food (lunch is still being provided) and room capacity.

Everything else remains the same. The event runs from 11-2 p.m. and will feature the Rutgers Institute for Information Policy and Law’s News Law Project, a database of frequently asked questions about media law, as well as two panel discussions on media law: one to address current concerns, the other looks at issues that are emerging as a result of new technology such as drones and police body cameras. Speakers include The Record’s in-house counsel Jennifer Borg; the New Jersey Press Association’s attorney Tom Cafferty; Mickey Osterreicher, general counsel to the National Press Photographers Association; and Mike Rispoli, director of The Free Press, an advocacy organization that focuses on press freedoms.
