A day to ponder legal issues
|
 | | Carrie Buchanan |
Driving more than two hours to Columbus for a conference on media law might not be everyone's favorite Friday endeavor. But for someone like myself with a strong interest in the legal issues that shape journalism today, it was well worth the effort to attend the annual Law and Media Conference on Oct. 15, jointly sponsored by the Ohio State Bar Association, Ohio Association of Broadcasters, Ohio Newspaper Association and SPJ's Central Ohio Chapter.
This is a really good conference and if you register early, it's inexpensive. It was $30 for journalists and other non-lawyers, half that for students. Lawyers paid $50. And the fees included lunch. I urge members to keep it in mind for next year.
The keynote speaker was well into his address when I arrived, I must confess, but what I heard was something as current and topical as one could hope for: Barry McBride, publisher of an online Cleveland Browns news site, The Orange and Brown Report, described how a website that started out as a hobby - McBride was once a full-time technology consultant and part-time football fan - became his full-time occupation and a destination site for Browns fans. During this development, McBride acquired insider knowledge of how sports reporting and publishing are changing, some of which he shared in his speech.
Electronic media were the theme of this year's conference and so there were sessions on all kinds of legal issues peculiar to the Internet. The sports theme also continued later in the day, as one of several topics explored in some depth by panels that offered expertise in law as well as journalism. These ranged from "Copyright, Trademarks and Internet Reporting" to how and when Ohio's shield law might apply to bloggers and other online reporters. In keeping with SPJ's strong support of journalism students there was even a session called "Legal Issues for Student Journalists at Ohio Universities."
One of the best panels featured our own national president, Hagit Limor, who somehow manages to juggle the presidency with her full-time career as a multi-award-winning investigative reporter for WCPO-TV in Cincinnati. She and WCPO "I-Team" producer/photographer Phil Drechsler (who has also won many awards) shared legal advice and tips on undercover technique, along with media lawyers Kevin Shook, who is with the Columbus office of Frost Brown Todd LLC and chairs the Ohio State Bar Association's media law committee, Jeffrey T. Cox of Faruki Ireland & Cox in Dayton, and David Giles, in-house legal counsel for E.W. Scripps Co. in Cinncinnati, which owns WCPO-TV. In addition to their panel discussion, participants came away with written reports by the panelists on the legal and ethical hazards of investigative reporting.
In her experience traveling the country for SPJ, Limor noted, "I'm seeing fewer and fewer people are doing investigative (reporting)" as staff and budget cuts make this expensive work scarce. "We are very lucky. We work for a company (Scripps) that values this" and maintains an investigative team, she said. "To me, this is the bottom line. This is what it's about, in protecting our democracy."
There is also a tendency to do stories without legal help, which can be dangerous, Shook noted. This often means skirting important but risky topics, or taking risks that could be costly in the long run if there are lawsuits. "This is my sense among media clients I represent," Shook said, adding that the panel was designed to help journalists in these circumstances to recognize the absolute "red flags" that mean they really should call a lawyer. For example, Shook said, it might be okay to skip the legal advice if it's a type of story you have done before. But if you're starting a new investigative project with new risks, it's short-sighted to go ahead without legal help.
"I think there's been a chilling effect in a lot of places," Limor said, which results in part from that effort to avoid legal costs. "I hear from colleagues that they're doing different types of stories" - more consumer and troubleshooter stories, for example, and less traditional investigative work.
Perhaps my favorite moment of the day came at another panel: "Hot Issues in Libel and Privacy on the Internet." Panel chair Karen Lefton, a partner with Browse McDowell in Akron and former reporter at the Beacon-Journal, asked the audience how many in the room were lawyers. About half raised their hands. She then asked how many were full-time journalists -- about a quarter raised their hands. She continued listing occupations and I realized what a marvelous, diverse collection of different perspectives we had in that one room, including educators, students and, I believe, a judge or two. The discussion was terrific. It focused much more on privacy issues - clearly, judging by the questions, the hottest issue for the lawyers in the room - than on libel.
There were a few moments during this panel for a short discussion about website comments with John Kroll of The Plain Dealer, who is the paper's acting online editor, responsible for moderating comments on cleveland.com. It became very clear, from comments by panelists and several audience members, that news websites that allow unmoderated comments about stories see them quickly degenerate into abusive tirades that drive away readers - and advertisers. I approached Kroll afterwards to ask, "Why, if you could have a popular website that attracts readers and advertisers by moderating the comments, would you not do a better job on this?"
Kroll surprised me by saying he totally agreed, and that I should take another look at cleveland.com - which I confessed I had largely given up on several years ago. Cleveland.com has been doing a lot more moderating, Kroll said. They have realized that the tone of the debate was driving away readers and more intervention was needed. All I can say to that is hallelujah!
Kroll agreed, by the way, to join a panel here in Cleveland on this topic should our chapter decide to do one. Readers, please let me know, at spjcleveland@me.com, if you think that's a program we should do sometime soon.

What should you borrow for college?
| |

Steve Talbott, a chapter member and former Plain Dealer business reporter and editor who now teaches at Cleveland State University, has written an e-book aimed at helping high school and college students figure out a reasonable amount to borrow for college that they will be able to afford once they graduate.
"How Much Should I Borrow for College?" takes students and parents on a tour of the latest government data about jobs and careers. This helps students focus on where they want to go and helps them pick a major. Once students have focused on a particular job, the book shows them how to find out what that job is likely to pay once they graduate. Once they know how much they are likely to make, they can quickly figure out how much in student loans they'll be able to afford. "How Much Should I Borrow for College?" walks them through the process.
One goal of the book is to keep students and families from overspending because of the unrealistic earnings expectations that are often promoted by the higher education industry. "How Much Should I Borrow for College?" can especially help students and families considering a for-profit college. These schools often lead students to borrow grossly unrealistic sums because, in part, they encourage them to believe they will earn far more than they actually will.
"How Much Should I Borrow for College?" is an e-book with more than 200 hyperlinks, so the latest government data about jobs and careers, student and parent loans, and more is just a mouse click away. It works on your computer, iPad, Kindle, and even your smart phone.
You can buy it for $7.99 at www.howmuchshouldiborrow.com or as a Kindle at Amazon.com
Talbott was deputy business editor for many years at the PD before taking a buyout four years ago. He has been teaching since as an adjunct at CSU.
