Each year, the University of Kansas School of Law and the Kansas City Metropolitan Bar Association Media Law Committee host the Media and the Law Seminar in Kansas City, along with other local events, to facilitate and encourage dialogue about the latest legal issues and developments in media, law and technology.

As technology races ahead at a breakneck pace, consumers are inundated with new, addictive ways to interact with the world. The legal system continues to lag light years behind the real world, however, leaving individuals and corporations alike to slog through the fallout of doing business online with very few legal guideposts. At this year’s Media and the Law Seminar, we will look at the potential pitfalls awaiting Instagram and other social media influencers, including the FTC’s sponsored advertising rules, the ethical issues of buying followers and the myriad ways social media influencers can be sued. Our panelists will also delve into issues surrounding certain media giants’ violations of our online privacy. The seminar will also explore how takedown demands have fundamentally changed newsroom practices. Plus, we will consider the ethical and privacy implications of media organizations, and others, storing all their information in the cloud. We invite you to join us at this year’s seminar, including the Bonus CLE Session on Thursday, April 2.
