Media Law course

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 Minister's privacy case against the Sunday Times, and Noseweek's case against First Rand, will be debated. Practical exercises and examples will be used to illustrate how these rules apply in practice.
