Entertainment, Media and Communications Section Report 2018-2019

The following highlights the activities of the Manitoba Section held in 2014‐2015

A couple of highlights during the past year for our Section included the Lawyers in the Media: Sound‐  bytes and Pitfalls, panel presentation moderated by your Chair with presentations from Jonathan Kroft, Robert Tapper, Geoff Kirbyson (Free Press and Lawyers Weekly), William McDowell (Lenczners Toronto) and media consultant John Douglas.

It was in many respects business as usual for our Section this year, carrying on our work to advance the public interest in access to information.  As usual, a lot of our work involved activities and initiatives with the National Section which hosts monthly conference calls and reports from those conference calls were circulated to Section members
