Why We Invested
The Poynter Institute’s course to educate journalists on the legal issues related to libel and defamation will mitigate risk and reduce the likelihood of legal incidents. The training will cover multiple parts of the news gathering and dissemination process, as well as what to do should one encounter an incident or claim.
Democracy Fund is proud to support the Poynter Institute’s e-course on libel and defamation, which will provide a new resource for the field and for newsrooms throughout the country.
