This webinar will focus on legal and contract issues that affect journalists\, whether they are on staff or freelance\, and what steps they can take to protect themselves. Among the questions to be discussed: \nContracts\n\n\nBefore signing on the dotted line\, what language should you look out for in contract? \n\n\nWhat do these words mean: assignment\, license\, warranty\, work for hire? \n\n\nShould you ever sign a work for hire contract? \n\n\nHow will I be paid? \n\n\nWill I get a kill fee? \n\n\nHow important is it to retain the copyright? \n\n\nNegotiating\n\n\nIf I don’t like a contract\, how do I negotiate for a better one? \n\n\nWhat are some things that would make you refuse to sign a contract? \n\n\nRights\n\n\nHow much power do you have when publications ask for all rights — including movie and TV rights\, which might be worth something down the road? \n\n\nWhat are my rights under Tasini vs. The New York Times? \n\n\nOr rights in all undiscovered media? \n\n\nProtecting yourself and indemnity clauses: \n\n\nHow can I make sure that I’m protected if a story lands us in legal hot water? \n\n\nThe dreaded indemnity clauses — what they are and what you can do to protect yourself. \n\n\nWhat does warranty mean in a contract — and how can I protect myself against spurious lawsuits? \n\n\nWhat are my rights under Sullivan vs. The New York Times? \n\n\nLiability insurance\n\n\nShould I buy insurance? \n\n\nIf so\, what kind and where can I purchase a reasonably priced policy? \n\n\nSpeakers:\n\n\nJonathan Kirsch\, adjunct professor\, New York University’s Professional Publishing Program; an attorney specializing in intellectual property and publishing law \n\n\nModerator: Linda Marsa\, independent journalist and a contributing editor at Discover \n\n\nAttorney Jonathan Kirsch is the book editor of The Jewish Journal\, a book reviewer for the Los Angeles Times\, and a guest commentator for NPR affiliates KCRW-FM and KPCC-FM.
