In the Internet age, where are the boundaries that separate safe reporting from libel charges? What are the online potholes that can lead to a courtroom? Some of the top First Amendment attorneys in the state will discuss these topics and more.
Featured Panelists:
-- Attorney Jon Albano of Bingham McCutcheon is deputy managing partner of Bingham’s Boston office and co-chairs the firm’s Entertainment, Media & Communications Group.
-- Attorney Robert A. Bertsche is a partner at Prince Lobel, where he practices media, internet, and employment law. Rob gave up a not-so-promising career as a newspaper and magazine reporter in order to attend Harvard Law School, where he earned his J.D. in 1989. Since then, he has represented newspapers, magazines, bloggers, broadcasters, and websites in matters involving libel, privacy, freedom of information, subpoenas and reporter's privilege, prior restraint, copyright, trademark, and related areas. Rob also serves as general counsel to the New England Newspaper and Press Association.
-- Moderator: Dan Kennedy, assistant professor at Northeastern's School of Journalism, specializing in new media trends, and Media Nation blogger.
