I often wonder how many times I have broken the law in shooting a story. I know that the laws have changed since I started doing this and sometimes I get a little confused when it comes down to remembering what is the law and what is a myth that some co-worker made up.
So rather than have to wonder in a jail cell, I have put some links here to help all of us know what the law is as it pertains to the media.
If you have any other information about media law or just know of a good site that will help us stay out of trouble please e-mail me and let me know.
