To defame or not to defame

If you have your doubts about what you can and can't say about people, then you need to check out the Journalist's Defamation Checklist, an interactive web tool designed for working journalists and students by journalism staff at Bond University. It's at http://www.defamkit.bond.edu.au/. Much of the detail has been taken from the second edition of Professor Mark Pearson's excellent The journalist's guide to media law. Dealing with legal and ethical issues, which Allen & Unwin published in 2004. Worth a look, even if you think you know the issues backwards. Posted by belinda at May 13, 2005 02:10 PM
