I'm speaking at LSU on Nov. 13

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.

Hail, Columbia!

I am pleased to announce that in the fall I will be joining the faculty at the University of South Carolina's School of Journalism and Mass Communication, where I will be teaching media law.

The Impact of "The Right to Be Forgotten"

I've written before on the European Union's "right to be forgotten," and the dangers that a European Court of Justice ruling earlier this year applying the right to search engine results poses to the internet.

Today, I was pleased to give a presentation on the origins of the "right to be forgotten" and the court decision, and the implications for the internet both in Europe and here in the United States to the Sports, Entertainment, and Media Law Society at the LSU Law Center.

New City, New Gig

As some of you know, I have recently relocated to Baton Rouge, Louisiana -- talk about culture shock -- to come to Louisiana State University, where I am now co-director of the Press, Law and Democracy Project at the Manship School of Mass Communication.
