This media law aide-memoir gives a guideline on how to act according to the law and it is supposed to help to prevent mistakes. You might not be aware of it, but especially in the case of reporting from the courts or reporting about 'very important persons', chances are high that mistakes could lead to unwanted outcomes, e.g. harm or risk to a person or high fines and/or imprisonment for the reporting person. Therefore you should be familiar with the law and maybe also have some thoughts about ethics, before starting to report.
