Our fortnightly look at legal issues facing journalists
HoldtheFrontPage publishes two regular columns – Dyson at Large and the Law Column.
Former regional daily editor Steve Dyson’s monthly Dyson at Large blog has established itself as a must-read throughout the local press industry. Don’t miss his updates which are published on the site on the penultimate Wednesday of every month.
The fortnightly Law Column is written by media law specialists Foot Anstey and is designed to encourage debate on all aspects of the law as it affects working journalists. It appears every other Tuesday.
Other guest blogs may also appear on this page from time to time.
