Dr. Robinson will moderate a panel of media law and political strategy authorities to discuss the effect of libel law on media operations and coverage of political campaigns as well as the implications of the St. Amant case locally and statewide. The event will be held on Wednesday, November 13, from 2 p.m. - 4 p.m. in the Journalism Building’s Holliday Forum.
