Media Law assignment: need to research on an article that could possibly be defamatory.
Any ideas anyone?
You are required to select a newspaper, magazine or online article or a television or radio program that was published or broadcast in 2010.
The basis for your selection is that the article/program raises significant legal issues in the area of defamation law.
You must ensure that there is sufficient connection with Australia for an action to be instituted here.
You are to assume that you are acting as in house counsel for the relevant publisher or broadcaster. It is a few hours prior to the deadline for publishing/broadcasting and you have been asked to provide advice as to whether or not the article/program should go ahead.
You are required to provide relevant advice. Given that the article/program will end up being published/broadcast the outcome of your advice must obviously be to recommend that this should happen. Assessment is based primarily on your reasons for coming to this conclusion.
