Abstract
"What are the pressures on defamation law today? Should we be concerned about the overlap between privacy and defamation law? What are the key reforms in the UK's draft Defamation Bill (2011) and is the UK moving in the right direction? Should Canada continue to follow the UK or look more to the US? What are the challenges for freedom of the press, and what does libel chill look like to front line journalists?"
