MEDIA LAW, ETHICS,

AND EXPRESSION IN

THE DIGITAL AGE

www.kiniacademy.com

What Is This About?The temptations of sloppy and unethical journalistic practices and the consequences of giving into those temptations have never been more prevalent than it is in today’s rapidly-changing fast and competitive digital space.

Every journalist, publicist and creative entrepreneur needs to have an understanding of how the law applies to their trade. This knowledge will not only develop your own ideas about proper conduct and just behaviour, but knowing the law is your best insurance against potentially devastating legal consequences.

Along with the other social media-related challenges, fake news and disinformation have also attained wider implications for journalists and media organisations. The “disinformation war” is becoming a growing global concern.

Hence, besides this course will take you through the new rules covering social media, the war against fake news, and the implications of freedom of expression, so that you stay abreast of developments, even if you’ve had previous media law training.
