Robert A. Bertsche to Present Twelve Ways to Stay Out of Court: A Self-Help Legal Primer for Community Newspapers

Rob will be a featured speaker at the National Newspaper Association’s 123^rd  annual convention and trade show this fall in Mobile, Alabama.  For community newspapers that can’t necessarily afford a lawyer – but also can’t afford to be sued – this interactive workshop will provide newspaper reporters and editors with the latest information on the changing laws governing print and online publishing.

Some of the topics Rob will discuss include:

• Liability for online content
• When photo releases are necessary
• Linking
• Excerpting
• Fair use and copyright infringement
• How to get access to government documents and hearings (without paying a lawyer)
• The changing rules of privacy law
