From the archives: Legal questions from 2003
We are sharing resources and stories from the ONA archives throughout 2019, as we celebrate 20 years of inspiring innovation and excellence in digital journalism.
 We’re looking back to 2003 to see what legal questions were facing publishers who were grappling with the move to digital. “You don’t know as a journalist what law will apply to you,” said Stuart Karle, then-associate general counsel for Dow Jones & Co., Inc in a session at our annual conference. As the digital landscape continues to change, we need to stay savvy — you can learn all about media law for journalists at the Media Law Resource Center’s pre-conference workshop on Sept. 11 in New Orleans.

One tweet can’t express how grateful I am to @ONA and all the lifelong friends I have made — either through #WJCHAT or #ONAPajamaJam — that welcomed me and let me grow (including pushing them for more inclusivity/diversity). #Happy20thONA — Robert Hernandez
