Two years ago, the Rutgers Institute for Information Policy and Law launched the News Law Project, which was intended to help answer common media-related questions under New Jersey law.
The News Law Project solicited questions from journalists in the Garden State and worked with Rutgers Law School students to answer them. The project was lead by Professor Ellen P. Goodman and funded by the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation.
A list of frequently asked questions was created from the students’ research and published online. The FAQ includes answers to questions such as “Am I responsible as the “author” when I edit website comments?,” and “Do I have to worry about privacy when I post videos of people online?.”
To make these important and helpful FAQs available to as many New Jersey journalists as possible, the Center for Cooperative Media, in partnership with Goodman, designed and printed booklets of the FAQs. The booklets, about 40 pages in length, are available to be distributed to journalists across the state.
Fill out the form below to request booklets to be mailed to you.
You can also:
