This is episode 5 of our series on Media Law and we are looking at a very important recent defamation case where two veteran journalists, represented by Webber Wentzel, successfully sued the Economic Freedom Party for being called Stratcom agents. Dario's guests are the two applicants in that case - celebrated journalist, author and Economics Editor at SABC NEWS Thandeka Gqubule-Mbeki, and the Caxton Professor of Journalism at Wits University Anton Harber. Anton is the founder and former Editor of the Mail & Guardian and the former Editor-in-Chief of eNCA. Anton and Thandeka go back 30 years to explain the background to this fascinating defamation case and then discuss the judgment itself. It is a deep dive behind the scenes of a stunning legal case.

Surveillance by the government and others of journalists has become a major concern around the world, and increasingly in South Africa. amaBhungane's challenge to aspects of the surveillance laws - seeking to compel greater checks and balances - is pending before the Constitutional Court. Unjustified surveillance undermines our privacy rights, and also impacts on freedom of expression and media freedom.

Dario's guests are Sam Sole and Jane Duncan. Sam, award-winning investigative journalist and amaBhungane co-managing partner, fortuitously discovered he was under surveillance and with his colleagues at amaBhunagne decided to challenge the law. Professor Jane Duncan is in the Department of Journalism, Film and Television, at the University of Johannesburg and is the author of the book “Stopping the Spies: Constructing and resisting the surveillance state in South Africa”. ]]> Business Wed, 06 May 2020 08:47:00 +0200 0 0 Media Law: Surveillance - Episode 3 0 0 Webber Wentzel full 32:44 Webber Wentzel Legal Insights https://iono.fm/e/852793 https://iono.fm/e/852793
In this series, your host Dario Milo unpacks media law in an exciting and informative way. In this episode he explores the problem of disinformation (false or misleading information that is spread deliberately to deceive). Although this episode is not focused on Covid-19, and was recorded before the "false news" crime now enacted in the Lockdown Regulations – the topic is particularly timely given the extent of disinformation that we have seen related to the pandemic.

Dario is joined on this episode by William Bird, Director of Media Monitoring Africa, an organisation that monitors the media and implements successful media strategies for change. Together they will tackle topics such as using defamation law to address disinformation, Media Monitoring Group's Real 411 initiative to address digital disinformation, and whether there should be tighter legal regulation of disinformation. ]]> Business Wed, 29 Apr 2020 12:04:00 +0200 0 0 Media Law: Disinformation - Episode 2 0 0 Webber Wentzel full 25:40 Webber Wentzel Legal Insights https://iono.fm/e/849656 https://iono.fm/e/849656
