Today’s journalists need to check more than their facts. In this cut-and-paste digital world, journalists also need to check their rights. Join the National Press Club Journalism Institute for an overview of copyright perils and solutions, presented by three lawyers with the Media & Entertainment Law Group from the Washington, D.C. office of Ballard Spahr LLP: Chuck Tobin, Alia Smith and Mara Gassmann.
Participants will leave the program with:
- Best practices for the “fair use” of unlicensed work
- Tips to calibrate how much is too much when quoting or using someone else’s work
- Ways to quickly determine rights to an image and how to license it, even via social media
Registration is now open for this program, which will take place online from 11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. ET on Wednesday, March 31, 2021. The Institute has waived fees for all of its services due to the pandemic, saving participants tens of thousands of dollars. In that spirit, we ask you to consider making a donation to support programs like this one.
