Be mindful of libel, campus journalists told

AS campus journalists and teachers engage more in the practice of journalism with online and social media, education experts and lawyers reminded them to be mindful of libel, cyberlibel, copyright and fair use in producing their works to ensure that press freedom prevails.

Speaking during The Manila Times and Manila Times College online forum 'Libel, cyberlibel, copyright and fair use: Media practices and individual rights in the age of social media,' San Beda University College of Law Professor and former Asian Development Foundation College of Law dean, lawyer Saul Hofileña Jr., said that a fair and true report is made in good faith, without any comments or remarks.
