Social media and the law

You've made the big leap. You have executive-level buy-in and you've developed your online strategy. You're ready to join the world of bloggers, fan pages, forum contributers and the ever-present "tweet." But are you prepared for the legal ramifications of your social media program? Who owns your information? What are the potential legal pitfalls? How do you manage employees in the social media realm? What should be included in a corporate social media policy?

Join the Greater Fort Worth Public Relations Society of America for our February program, featuring Chip Stewart, J.D., Ph.D. Dr. Stewart completed his doctoral degree while teaching and working at the Columbia Missourian. He is currently a professor in TCU's Schieffer School of Journalism and editor-in-chief of Dispute Resolution Magazine, a quarterly publication of the Dispute Resolution Section of the American Bar Association. Dr. Stewart worked as an attorney in the late 1990s, practicing criminal, bankruptcy and family law. He has also worked as a clerk in the Travis County Attorney's office.

Bring your questions and social media policies for this unique legal discussion!
