Ordinary social media users need to get a grip on media law, to make sure they don’t accidentally fall foul of it … and be served with a lawsuit. In this workshop, media ethics expert Dr Denis Muller, using real case studies, explains why your tweet, blog or post could be the difference between freedom of speech and ending up in court.
