On November 13, the Reilly Center will host Dr. Eric P. Robinson, an
Assistant Professor in the School of Journalism and Mass Communications
at the University of South Carolina. Dr. Robinson’s book, Reckless
Disregard: St. Amant v. Thompson and the Transformation of Libel Law,
examines the case that began with a political campaign ad in Louisiana
and ended up changing American libel law forever. Dr. Robinson will
moderate a panel of media law and political strategy authorities to
discuss the effect of libel law on media operations and coverage of
political campaigns as well as the implications of the St. Amant case
locally and statewide.
