CMLP Teams Up With NewsU to Launch Online Media Law Course [1]

We're pleased to announce that News University [2] launched its Online Media Law [3] course today.  The course is specifically designed for individuals and journalists engaged in online publishing, and it covers three important areas of media law -- defamation, privacy, and copyright. The course is free. Students can enroll online [3] at the NewsU site and take the course at their own pace. 

CMLP Director David Ardia co-authored the course with Geanne Rosenberg [4], Chair of the Department of Journalism and the Writing Professions at City University of New York’s Baruch College.  The course was created at the behest of the Media Bloggers Association [5] (see MBA's announcement [6]).  You can see NewsU's official press release here [7].

(Note: News University is funded by the Knight Foundation, which also provides funding for the CMLP.)
