Perkins Coie Brown & Bain Announces the Release of the Arizona Reporter's Handbook on Media Law

PHOENIX (April 25, 2007) – Perkins Coie Brown & Bain announced that the sixth edition of the Arizona Reporter's Handbook on Media Law is now available.

Perkins Coie attorney Dan Barr led a team of 10 Perkins Coie attorneys in Phoenix and Seattle in revising the Handbook, which was last released in 2002. Topics covered include access to court proceedings, public records, open meetings, and public and private places. The new Handbook also addresses subpoenas issued against the news media, search warrants, gag orders, prior restraints, libel, invasion of privacy, promises of confidentiality to sources, copyright and trademark issues, and Section 230 immunity for online content.

"This handbook was written to provide a quick, easy-to-reference legal resource for members of the media who cover news events in Arizona," explained Barr, a partner in the firm's Litigation practice who focuses on media law issues.
