Do you know your media law?

Libel-related stories have peppered our papers in recent weeks, from the case of Simon Singh versus the British Chiropractic Associaton, to the injunction against the Guardian that was eventually dropped by oil trader Trafigura.

Romana Canneti, a media lawyer who advises a range of newspapers including the Independent, will talk about her work proofing articles for potential libels, and offer tips and advice on ways to avoid getting into trouble with the libel laws.

Tea/coffee refreshments will be provided before the event, and the talk will be followed by a reception.

Date: Wednesday 18 November 2009

Time: Doors open at 6.30pm, talk starts at 7.00pm
