Reporters from across the state gathered in Nashville to learn about open meeting law, investigative journalism and more during the annual Reporters Workshop program, produced jointly by the Tennessee Bar Association, the Tennessee Association of Broadcasters and the Tennessee Press Association Foundation. Participants were selected from a record number of applicants who were interested in developing a deeper understanding of media law issues that may affect their everyday work, including access to government information, defamation and privacy concerns in reporting and other timely topics. Panelists included veteran reporters Demetria Kalodimos, Meribah Knight and Ben Hall, as well as legal media experts Paul McAdoo, Deborah Fisher and Seth May. The program continues tomorrow.
