Felony charges are filed against reporters covering a presidential inauguration protest. The Attorney General says he’s “not sure” whether he can “put reporters in jail for doing their job.” News organizations install encrypted channels to encourage government employees to leak classified data. Are you prepared for when your client calls with an issue that puts the newsroom – or a trusted source – in the crosshairs of the law?

On May 24, 2017, members of the Media Law Resource Center Next Generation hosted a webinar discussing criminal law issues that media lawyers should be prepared to field, from wiretap and trespass laws to the Espionage Act and grand jury subpoenas.

Speakers included Kaitlin Gurney, Associate, Pepper Hamilton LLP and Jacquelyn Schell, Associate, Bryan Cave LLP.

These are the PowerPoint slides from this webinar.
