Press Law

Press Law forms the basis for free and independent reporting, which is indispensable in a democratic society. It regulates the rights and duties of journalists, publishers and media professionals and ensures a balance between the public's interest in information and the protection of individual personal rights. Central topics are the observance of journalistic due diligence, the handling of confidential information and the defense against false reports and content that damages reputation.
