Media & content
Newsrooms, producers and broadcasters need a lawyer who understands deadlines and editorial pressure, not only the law.
One of our lawyers spent ten years as a journalist — television, radio, news agency and multimedia. We know newsrooms from the inside.
What we do
- Press law: defamation, right of reply, protection of sources
- Pre-publication legal review of sensitive investigations
- Broadcasting regulation and licences
- Production, co-production, rights and distribution agreements
- Legal framework and accreditation for foreign media working in Tunisia
- Crisis communication, reputation and image rights
Questions our clients ask
- A newsroom is about to publish an investigation implicating a business leader: what should be checked before it goes live?
- The strength of sources and documents, the wording of sensitive passages, the right to respond and the defamation risk. We review the text with the newsroom, on its deadline, so it can publish without weakening the story.
- A foreign broadcaster wants to film a documentary in Tunisia: what is required?
- Journalist accreditation, filming permits, image rights of the people filmed, contracts with local crews and assignment of exploitation rights: we organise all of it before filming starts.
