Now that the legal term has ended, Inforrm is taking a winter break for a couple of weeks to allow the editorial team to relax and recover. We will have a some occasional posts over the next fortnight but the full normal service will not be resumed until 10 January 2022.

This year we have had 365 posts on Inforrm on our usual very wide variety of media and legal topics from authors from all areas of media law and all round the world.  We have had nearly 400,000 page views this year, more than half from the UK with the United States, India, Australia and Ireland again making up the rest of the top five.

Since we first started posting in January 2010 we have had more than 5,500 posts and over 5.8 million views.  Many thanks to all our readers for following the blog and our twitter feed.  And thank you for the many positive comments we have had (and the constructive negative ones).  Thanks also to everyone who has written for the blog.

As we have said many times before, Inforrm is intended to be a forum for debate and we welcome contributions from all points of view about issues concerning “media and law”.  We can be contacted via the email address on the home page.
