| General Information |
| Analysts are judged by what they
report, as well as by what they don't report. If you want to win the
respect of the investment community, you need to understand your right
to say what you really think. Does the subject of your analysis have the
right to restrict what you report or even to restrict your access to
information? What can you do to avoid libel claims or other lawsuits?
What are your obligations to disclose what you learn to your clients,
the public, and the SEC?
James C. Goodale, who is recognized for
his leadership in defining modern First Amendment freedoms, will explain
the practical application of these rights to analysts. Now at Debevoise
& Plimpton, where he founded a 40-lawyer media and communications group,
Mr. Goodale was vice chairman and general counsel of The New York
Times until 1980. He is known as the father of the "reporter's
privilege" and was responsible for many other legal foundations of
journalism, including the Supreme Court decision in the Pentagon Papers
case. On the business side, Mr. Goodale was responsible for management
of The New York Times parent company and its development from a
privately owned $100 million newspaper to a publicly traded, global
communications company. Mr. Goodale previously made a presentation on
behalf of The New York Times at its first appearance before
NYSSA.
Mr. Goodale is the host of The
Telecommunications and Information Revolution; a Thursday evening
WNYE-TV investment program. This event is sponsored by NYSSA’s Corporate
Governance Committee. |
