Every publishing professional needs to understand the basics of publishing law in this litigious era. Editors must know when to flag content as potentially libelous and all employees in media industries must have a knowledge of copyright, privacy, intellectual property and other important legal issues. In this course, our faculty of experienced lawyers in the publishing industry presents the key concepts through real-world examples, case studies and presentations from guest speakers. Students will explore legal issues in print and on the Web as blogging and sites like Facebook, Twitter and YouTube create a wide range of new legal and ethical issues. The course will also provide an introduction to contracts and contract negotiation.
To register for this course you must be an admitted student in an NYU credit or degree program or have special student status.
Admitted NYU credit or degree students may visit NYUHome to register through ALBERT.
