Defamation is an occupational hazard that journalists should be especially careful to avoid. It is based on the fundamental principle, recognised by most legal systems throughout the world, that every person is entitled to his or her reputation.

Indeed, the right to personal reputation is often given the same legal protection as the right to personal property.

This course covers the ins and outs of the law relating to defamation as well as other laws relevant to the media such as copyright, contempt of court, constitutional provisions, official secrecy, personal privacy, parliamentary privileges, and self regulation.
