The Law Column: Twitter – the digital playground
Our fortnightly look at legal issues facing journalists
Opinion
HoldtheFrontPage publishes two columns – the regular Law Column and Dyson at Large.
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.
Former regional daily editor Steve Dyson’s monthly Dyson at Large blog established itself as a must-read throughout the local press industry for more than 10 years. Our full archive containing hundreds of his reviews, comments and debates are available here.
Other guest blogs may also appear on this page from time to time.
