First Amendment lawyer extraordinaire Jack Greiner spoke with the Enquirer newsroom today. We do these refreshers about once every six months. Cuts down on the lawsuits and gives us an idea about the changing world of media law.
We talked quite a bit about blogs. The most important message: blog providers are not liable for the comments posted on their site. (Unless you begin heavily editing comments, in which case you could be considered a "content provider.) The people who make the comments, however, are liable. So let's try not to libel anybody on here, OK?
Also, Jack gave us this handy libel quiz. Have at it.
