PLI Webinar today: Understanding disclosure in blogging and social media

I’m part of a panel today for the Practising Law Institute’s Understanding Disclosure in Blogging and Social Media live audio Webcast. The program runs from 1 to 2 ET and offers 1 hour of CLE.

The program, put on in conjunction with the Blog Council, is for internal counsel and other legal advisors who are drafting new employee policy, amending existing rules, or those who simply want a better understanding of the liabilities and opportunities inherent in these new communications tools.

It is billed in part as:

Today’s knowledge workers live in a 24-7 mash-up world of business blogs, personal blogs, Facebook, Twitter, and other social media. But the lowering of the bar to self-expression brings along expectations of openness. Transparency has become standard operating procedure, and corporations (and the agencies that work on their behalf) need to familiarize themselves with the new rules for interacting with the social media community appropriately.

The program will highlight the Blog Council’s recently published draft series of checklists called the Disclosure Best Practices Toolkit.

I’m appearing with Blog Council CEO Andy Sernovitz, John Pope, Digital Media Senior Manager at Dell Inc., and Laurie Steuri, Associate Director of External Relations at Procter & Gamble Co.
