The TBA’s Reporters Workshop — a two-day event designed to educate journalists about the Tennessee legal system and issues related to media law — has received a Community & Educational Outreach Award from the National Association of Bar Executives (NABE) and LexisNexis. TBA Executive Director Sheree Wright was on hand to accept the award at a luncheon in Chicago as part of NABE’s 2024 Annual Meeting. The program brings selected journalists to Nashville each April for sessions centered on investigative journalism, Tennessee's Open Meetings and open records laws, reporter's privilege, defamation, and covering courts and state and local governments. Produced jointly by the TBA and the Tennessee Association of Broadcasters, the program also is made possible by the generous support of the Tennessee Press Association and several Tennessee law firms.
