Digital Editors' Network - legal briefing
THE next Digital Editors' Network meeting will be looking at the legal risks newspapers and media organisations face as they expand into an ever increasing array of new media platforms.
Blogs, comment boards, forums, digital archives, links to third party content and the speed of breaking news online are all providing us with fresh legal challenges as we straddle the divide between traditional media and online communities.
The meeting will welcome some high profile speakers from media law experts Wiggin LLP at the University of Central Lancashire, Preston, on October 7 where we will look at some of these issues.
Caroline Kean, Wiggin’s head of litigation, will lead the discussion at the Digital Editors’ Network meeting and draw on her experience of media lawyer, as her work has seen her act for national and regional newspapers, magazines, book publishers, television and film companies.
Caroline has been acclaimed as one of the UK's top female solicitors and is vice president of the Media Society and legal advisor to Women in Journalism.
Joining her will bysPhil Gorski, from Wiggin’s litigation team, who has extensive experience in advising on pre-publication and compliance matters and is part of the training team
The Digital Editors’ Network will also include a showcase of new ideas from around the regional media, more details on that to follow.

The Digital Editors’ Network is a free event supported by the journalism department at UCLan, Preston.
Looks great - will there be a way of accessing the info afterwards for those who are interested?

Hi Rob, I'm afraid I won't be able to get along to this meeting, although the early evening talk is likely to be available online to watch.
All the best, Craig
