Media Watch over me
I got a phone call today from a producer at Media Watch about a little threatened legal action I recently received. Let’s just say that someone didn’t much care for what was written about them on the SA Culture site, and as the publisher I would be liable if it went to court.
Anyway, the matter was mostly sorted out, which is what I told the Media Watch producer. But I’d be in touch if there were any more problems.
He offered to have their lawyers look into the matter for me. He said that they were quite used to dealing with threats of defamation suits, and that he didn’t imagine I had any lawyers on hand myself. I thanked him for the offer.
I was left with a bit of a warm fuzzy feeling, really: it’s nice to know there’s someone looking out for you.
