ASNE joins brief arguing First Amendment rights trump right of publicity


Among the questions that ASNE Legal Counsel Kevin Goldberg is often asked, via the ASNE Legal Hotline or otherwise, is how to protect against legal issues when seeking to use photos and videos not shot by a publication's own photographer. It's not easy, and that's why ASNE joined a brief, which seeks to maintain a broad protection for use of photos and videos in non-commercial situations.

Sunshine Week 2016 off to a sunny start!

 
Happy Sunshine Week, everyone! It's off to a great start as numerous organizations created a robust coverage in their Sunday and Monday editions by publishing their local stories, as well as the content from our special Sunshine Week package. In fact, stories from the package appeared on at least 62 front pages. Let's keep up the good work in celebrating the positive impact of open government and access to public information! 

If you haven't, please take advantage of the multiple stories, an essay, a graphic and photos in the package by publishing them throughout the week. Two more stories will be posted later this week. Also, the Sunshine Week Toolkit features tons of editorial cartoons and op-eds that you can use to show your support for open government.

ASNE: Constitutional rights must be protected in Apple-FBI case

 
ASNE understands the FBI's interest in learning as much as possible about the events that led Farook and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, to kill 14 people last December. However, the precedents set in this case might have significant ramifications on First Amendment protections offered to journalists and other private citizens. Our hope is that any resolution creates a clear standard that appropriately protects the constitutional rights of anyone involved, especially as such standards already exist in the law.
