Upcoming Events

As the U.S. news media increasingly faces legal threats, it's especially important for freelance and independent journalists to understand and prepare for potential legal challenges they could face in their work.

This webinar, organized by the National Writers Union's Freelance Solidarity Project, Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, and Committee to Protect Journalists, will address common legal questions and issues facing freelancers when it comes to both business-related and newsgathering needs — from insurance and contracts, to retaliatory lawsuits and reporting in high-stress situations like protests. Attendees will come away with practical tips and resources to help them feel better equipped to mitigate legal risks and navigate issues should they arise.

RSVP here.

This event is part of "Protecting Journalists, Protecting Journalism," a three-part training series on legal, digital, and physical safety for independent journalists.
