Creative Loop Podcast

Law, huh? What is it good for? You, my studious colleague, are a law suit waiting to happen. Francis Shennon, winner of four Press awards, Director of Media Faculty, Visiting lecturer in journalism and law at Westminster, Stirling and Strathclyde Universites, presented his session at the Creative Loop Student Media Festival to show students common pitfalls in the complex world of media law. Whilst there's too much to recap in just five minutes, in this interview Francis answers some of the most pressing and pertinent questions you will come up against during your career. From Twitter to copyright; libel to court, you won't hear all the answers, but it will raise questions that you should be asking yourself. "..It doesn't matter if it's on Facebook, Twitter or even if you put it in an email...that's publication in the eyes of the law.." - Francis Sheenon
