MEDIA LAW WORKSHOP

Every post, broadcast, article and campaign carries legal risk. A single publication can lead to a defamation claim. A borrowed image can lead to a copyright dispute. Mishandling personal information can lead to a POPIA complaint. Ama-Njoku Attorneys invites journalists, content creators, broadcasters, agencies, influencers and media owners to a practical two hour workshop. It is designed to help you keep creating with confidence while protecting your work, your reputation and your business.

The workshop focuses on the legal questions media practitioners in South Africa face every day. It is practical, interactive and grounded in real scenarios.

Topics include:

1. Defamation and reputational risk: what you may lawfully publish and how to respond to a demand
2. Copyright, licensing and ownership of content: who owns what you create, commission or share
3. POPIA, privacy and personal information in reporting, marketing and content production
4. Contracts with talent, clients, brands and platforms: the clauses that protect you and those that expose you
5. Advertising standards and Film and Publication Board compliance
6. Social media, influencer marketing and takedown procedures

Who should attend: journalists and editors, content creators and influencers, producers and broadcasters, marketing and advertising agencies, publishers, and owners of media businesses.
