Two of New Mexico’s leading experts on media law will speak to the Rio Grande Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists from noon to 1:30 p.m., Wednesday, Jan. 26, at Mitchell Hall on the University of New Mexico campus.
Attorneys Jim Dines and Gregory Williams, who represent media organizations across New Mexico, will outline real-life case studies and answer questions on defamation and privacy. Rio Grande SPJ members may pre-submit questions through the chapter’s Listserve (details to come).

The event is free to Rio Grande SPJ members and to a limited number of UNM communications and journalism faculty and students who sign up in advance. Cost for all other attendees is $5. Space for the brown-bag event (meal not provided) is limited. Paid parking is available at the UNM parking structure. The UNM Publications Board has graciously provided the venue.
