Environmental Investigations and the Law: What Editors Expect Freelancers To Know

February 26, 2026 @ 9:00 am - 10:30 am EST

“Freelancing in investigative journalism can be risky, especially when legal threats are a real possibility.

“So how much legal knowledge do editors expect when freelancers pitch environmental investigations? Learn how they assess legal preparedness, what kind of support they can offer, and when publication lawyers step in to protect hard-hitting reporting.

“Find out what you need to get commissioned, get published, and avoid preventable legal trouble.

“This practical webinar covers the legal basics every freelancer needs to know, from evidence collection and defamation to right of reply, public interest, and fact-checking.”
