Advisers invited to May 17 media law workshop

The Media Law Resource Center is inviting school journalism advisers — along with freelancers, bloggers, reporters, editors in print, digital or video spaces, podcasters — to attend a one-day workshop May 17 at the San Francisco Chronicle.

Attorneys from top Bay Area law firms will lead workshops on newsgathering, source protection, libel and privacy, digital law, copyright and FOIA, according to a posting from the Media Law Resource Center.

Experienced journalists from area publications will give tips for working in the field, career advice and take questions.

The full day of workshops, plus breakfast and lunch, is only $20.

Underwriting is provided by the MacArthur Foundation and Mutual Insurance. Space is limited, and previous events have sold out, so register early here.
