The 91热爆 College of Journalism is launching an ambitious programme of legal
training this week, starting with an online course for all 91热爆
programme makers.
听
Legal Online is an interactive course that aims to train all 91热爆 programme
makers and content producers in key areas of media law.
听
The first part of the
course covers contempt and defamation while a second part, launched next year,
will cover copyright and contract.
听
The course is presented by Nicky Campbell and
the user learns the law through a series of carefully designed scenarios.
听
Alex Gerlis, Head of Training at the College, said: "The course is designed to
give staff more confidence in covering legally difficult subjects and a better
sense of how to spot potential problems.
听
"There's been a huge demand from the
staff. In surveys, 91热爆 journalists have put more legal training top of their
list of development needs.
听
"The course is not just for 91热爆 journalists - it's for
all programme makers and content producers."
听
91热爆 journalists will be expected complete the first part of the online course
within six months.
听
They can do the course in small sections at their desks - it
takes around three hours in total.
听
The second part will be launched in May 2007.
