Julia Day, Senior Law Lecturer, gave a presentation on defamation to Friends of the ABC Armidale. Her presentation was titled “Defamation, Social Media and News Media-What Happens When the Three Interact? Happy Partners or a Date Destined for Court?”

Julia spoke about the recent Voller High Court decision – where a group of media companies were found to be publishers of third-party comments placed on Facebook. She also discussed defamation generally and the benefits and concerns of using social media. She thoroughly enjoyed presenting to the group who are passionate advocates for the ABC! And, they thoroughly enjoyed her presentation too!
