Journal of Media Law and Ethics

In april 2012, the school of law began publishing the journal of media law & ethics (issn1940-9389), an online, peer-reviewed journal exploring current legal issues facing the media including copyright, defamation and reporters' privilege..

Published quarterly, JMLE seeks theoretical and analytical manuscripts that advance the understanding of media law and ethics in society. Submissions may have a legal, historical, or social science orientation, but must focus on media law or ethics.

In the current issue of the Journal of Media Law & Ethics , British lawyer Zia Akhtar takes a hard look at the use of social media by jurors in criminal trials and the accompanying concern that the rights of a defendant may be prejudiced by the practice. The article advocates a legal code that would prohibit juror access to information about a defendant’s previous record.

Mark Grabowski follows with an examination of so-called “mugshot” websites through the lens of the Society of Professional Journalists’ Code of Ethics. The article concludes that, while mugshot sites are not an inherently unethical journalism practice, many news outlets present mugshots utilizing ethically dubious methods that urgently need to be reformed.

The need for clear standards governing the kinds of communication that can be considered unprotected “true threats” is demonstrated by the analysis of Eric Robinson and Morgan Hill in our third article. The authors point out that, when the Supreme Court had the opportunity to clarify the elusive concept, in Elonis v. United States and three subsequent cases, they failed to resolve the ambiguities of the doctrine, notwithstanding the prevalence of abusive language online.

It may surprise many of readers that freedom of information is alive, if not entirely well, in China. Based on a massive quantitative study, Yong Tang suggests that enforcement of freedom of information law in the PRC seems more forceful than many Western observers would expect, although there is scant evidence that the law has led to more accountability and better governance.

Finally, Christopher Terry and associates point out that the national press has been woefully remiss in explaining why the so-called censorship of right-wing and other voices by social media platforms is not an abridgment of First Amendment rights. While all likely readers of this journal understand the concept of “state action” in the First Amendment context, the media has generally left the public clueless.

All theoretical perspectives are welcome. All manuscripts undergo blind peer review. Access to JMLE is available to the public at no charge.

All manuscripts must be original and must not be under consideration at other journals.

Peer Review:

All manuscripts will undergo blind peer review. The normal review period is three months or less.

Email should be sent to the editor, Eric B. Easton , professor of law.

Manuscript Preparation:

All footnotes should be in Bluebook form. All text must be double-spaced except tables and figures, which must be "camera-ready." Microsoft Word is the required software program for formatting manuscripts. The title page should include the title of the manuscript, names and affiliations of all authors, as well as their addresses, phone numbers, and e-mail addresses. Five key words for referencing the document in electronic databases are also required. Only the title page should contain identifying information. The second page should include the manuscript title and an abstract of 150 to 250 words. All figures and tables must be formatted to 5.5 inches in width and no more than 7.5 inches in height.

Media Law Resources

Media Law is defined as "The legislation through which governments regulate the mass media. It includes issues of censorship, copyright, defamation, broadcast law, and antitrust law. In democracies, media law is seen as a balancing act between two conflicting principles: freedom of expression and constraints laid down in statutes of common law, as in issues of defamation and the national interest."

As students embark on this crucial phase of their academic journey, selecting the right thesis topic is essential. This article aims to illuminate the range of potential law thesis topics, highlighting current issues, recent trends, and future directions.

Current Issues in Law

As we navigate through the complexities of contemporary society, numerous current issues in law emerge that are critical for law students to explore in their theses. These topics not only reflect ongoing legal challenges but also set the stage for developing effective solutions that uphold justice and societal norms. Delving into these law thesis topics allows students to engage with live issues that impact various facets of the legal system, from privacy laws and civil rights to corporate governance and environmental regulations.

  • Privacy and Data Protection: In today’s digital age, the issue of privacy and data protection has come to the forefront. With the proliferation of digital data, the legal frameworks designed to protect personal information are constantly tested. Law students could explore the adequacy of existing laws like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) in the United States, considering the rapid advancements in technology and the increasing global nature of data processing.
  • Civil Rights in the Modern Era: As societies evolve, so too do their understandings and implementations of civil rights. Current legal discussions often focus on issues such as police brutality, LGBTQ+ rights, and the protections afforded to individuals under new healthcare regulations. Thesis topics may examine how legal responses are adapting in light of these challenges, particularly in terms of legislative and judicial actions intended to protect marginalized groups.
  • Corporate Compliance and Governance: With the global economy becoming more interconnected, the importance of corporate compliance and governance has been magnified. Law thesis topics could investigate how businesses are expected to operate ethically while maximizing shareholder value, especially in industries that have significant impacts on the environment or human rights. Additionally, the legal liabilities of corporate officers and directors for breaches of fiduciary duties remain a hot topic in legal research.
  • Environmental Law and Climate Change: Environmental law continues to be a pressing area of legal concern as the effects of climate change become more evident. Law students can explore topics related to the enforcement of environmental regulations, the role of international treaties in combating global warming, and the legal responsibilities of nations and corporations in ensuring sustainability. The recent shifts towards renewable energy sources and their legal implications offer a rich field for exploration.

Thesis topics could address the legality of border enforcement practices, the rights of refugees and asylum seekers, and the impact of new immigration policies on families and communities. Additionally, the intersection of immigration law with human rights provides a compelling area for legal research and discussion.
  • Intellectual Property in the Innovation Economy: As innovation drives economic growth, intellectual property (IP) law plays a crucial role in protecting inventions, brands, and creative works. However, the tension between IP protection and the public interest, particularly in the pharmaceutical industry and technology sector, presents a complex scenario for legal analysis. Law students might explore the balance between encouraging innovation through patents and copyrights and ensuring public access to essential medicines and technologies.

Each of these areas presents unique challenges and opportunities for law students to contribute to their fields through rigorous analysis and innovative thinking. Addressing these current issues in law not only enhances their academic portfolio but also prepares them to enter the legal profession with a comprehensive understanding of the issues at the forefront of legal practice today. By focusing on these law thesis topics, students can position themselves at the cutting edge of legal research and development.

Recent Trends in Law

The dynamic nature of legal systems worldwide ensures that the landscape of law is perpetually evolving. Recent trends in law have been shaped by technological advancements, societal shifts, and global events that have prompted significant legal developments and debates. These trends provide fertile ground for law thesis topics, offering students a chance to explore the cutting-edge issues that are shaping modern legal doctrines and practices.

  • Technology and Law: One of the most pervasive influences on recent legal trends is technology. From the rise of fintech and blockchain technology affecting financial regulations to the challenges posed by artificial intelligence in privacy and intellectual property law, technology is reshaping legal boundaries. Law students could examine topics such as the regulation of autonomous vehicles, legal responses to cybersecurity threats, or the implications of AI in criminal justice systems, including predictive policing and decision-making algorithms.
  • Global Health and Law: The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the critical role of health law on a global scale. Recent legal trends have focused on public health law’s response to pandemics, including emergency powers, vaccination mandates, and quarantine measures. Thesis topics might analyze the balance between individual rights and public health safety, the legal implications of global vaccine distribution, or the role of the World Health Organization in shaping international health regulations.
  • International Trade and Law: Recent shifts in international trade agreements and policies, such as Brexit and changes in the United States’ trade policies, have significant legal implications. Law students have the opportunity to delve into issues surrounding trade negotiations, tariffs, and the role of international bodies like the World Trade Organization in mediating global trade disputes. Additionally, the rise of protectionist policies and their legal ramifications offers a rich area for scholarly investigation.
  • Social Justice and Law: Recent years have seen a marked increase in legal initiatives focused on social justice, including movements towards criminal justice reform, police accountability, and the decriminalization of certain activities. Law thesis topics could explore the legal frameworks surrounding prison reform, the abolition of cash bail systems, or the legalization of cannabis and its social, economic, and legal impacts.
  • Environmental and Energy Law: With the urgent need for environmental sustainability, recent legal trends have increasingly focused on environmental and energy law. Topics for exploration include the transition to renewable energy sources, legal strategies for reducing carbon footprints, and the enforcement of international environmental agreements like the Paris Accord. Law students could also investigate the legal aspects of green technology patents and their role in promoting eco-friendly innovations.
  • Corporate Responsibility and Ethics: There is a growing trend towards ensuring that corporations operate more transparently and ethically, particularly in relation to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria. This shift has led to new regulations and legal standards, offering thesis topics on corporate governance reforms, the legal liabilities of ignoring climate change impacts, and the integration of corporate social responsibility into business operations.

These recent trends in law reflect a world where legal systems are rapidly adapting to external changes and internal pressures. For law students, engaging with these law thesis topics not only provides an opportunity to contribute to scholarly discourse but also to influence future legal practices and policies. As these trends continue to evolve, they will undoubtedly shape the legal landscape for years to come, providing ongoing opportunities for impactful legal research.

Future Directions in Law

The legal landscape is continually evolving, driven by shifts in technology, societal norms, and global dynamics. Identifying and understanding future directions in law is crucial for law students as they consider thesis topics that not only address current legal challenges but also anticipate upcoming legal trends. This exploration provides insights into potential legal reforms, the emergence of new legal fields, and the adaptation of law to future societal needs.

  • The Expansion of Cyber Law: As digital technology becomes even more integrated into daily life, the future of law will increasingly hinge on addressing cyber-related issues. Future law thesis topics might explore regulations for the Internet of Things (IoT), legal responses to virtual realities, and the implications of quantum computing on data security and encryption. Additionally, the legalities of digital personhood and AI’s rights and responsibilities will challenge traditional legal frameworks and require innovative legal thinking.
  • Climate Change Legislation: Climate change continues to be an urgent global issue, necessitating robust legal frameworks that promote environmental sustainability and mitigate harm. Future legal scholars might focus on international climate agreements, the development of national laws that enforce global climate goals, and the legal responsibilities of countries and corporations in reducing their carbon footprint. The role of law in promoting green technologies and sustainable urban planning will also be critical areas for research.
  • Global Legal Cooperation: In an interconnected world, the future of law lies in global cooperation, particularly in areas like human rights, international trade, and public health. Law students could examine the potential for new international treaties, the evolution of supranational legal institutions, and the ways legal systems can work together to address issues such as migration, pandemics, and international crime.
  • Legal Implications of Biotechnology: As biotechnological advancements continue, so too will their legal implications. Future thesis topics may include the regulation of genetic editing techniques, bioethics, bioprinting of human organs, and the patenting of biotechnological inventions. The balance between innovation and ethical considerations will be a significant focus, as will the protection of genetic data.
  • Reforming Justice Systems: There is an ongoing need for justice system reform, particularly concerning equity, efficiency, and accessibility. Future directions in law could involve examining alternative dispute resolution mechanisms, the decriminalization of certain offenses, and reforms in sentencing practices. Additionally, the adoption of technology in the justice system, such as virtual courtrooms and AI in legal decision-making, presents both opportunities and challenges.
  • The Future of Labor Law: The nature of work and the workplace is changing rapidly, prompted by technology and evolving business models. Future law thesis topics might include the legal status and rights of gig economy workers, the use of AI in workplace management, and the implications of remote work for labor law. Legal scholars will need to consider how labor laws can adapt to continue protecting workers’ rights in this new landscape.
  • Protecting Rights in a Digital World: As personal and societal activities increasingly move online, protecting individual rights becomes more complex and essential. Future legal research could focus on digital identity, the right to digital privacy, and freedom of expression online. Legal frameworks will need to evolve to protect these rights adequately while balancing them against national security concerns and societal norms.

These future directions in law offer a glimpse into the potential challenges and areas of growth for the legal profession. For law students, engaging with these topics not only helps push the boundaries of current legal thought but also prepares them to play an active role in shaping the future of the legal landscape.

Media and Law: An Overview of Legal Issues and Challenges

Profile image of Center for International Media Assistance (CIMA)  at the National Endowment for Democracy

CIMA is pleased to release a new report, Media and the Law: An Overview of Legal Issues and Challenges, by Peter Noorlander, a lawyer specializing in media law and human rights and the legal director of the Media Legal Defence Initiative. The report examines the different kinds of laws that affect the media and explains how they are used in many countries to influence the operations of news outlets and the information they offer. It primarily focuses on restrictive laws and legal challenges faced by journalists in developing countries, although laws in developed countries dealing with issues such as libel and terrorism are also considered.

Overview of media laws, penal codes, and other regulations and their applications in the Gulf Cooperation Council Countries: Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and United Arab Emirates. Includes comparisons to international approaches. Research supported by Doha Centre for Media Education. Research finds several areas in which GCC laws differ from international standards that allow for a vibrant press. These factors incude: criminal defamation charges instead of civil lawsuits, licensing of journalists, broad prohibitions on types of coverage, banning of "false news," and truth as an absolute defense for libel.

CIMA is pleased to release a new report, Caught in the Middle: Central and Eastern European Journalism at a Crossroads, by Ellen Hume, a veteran journalist and international media analyst and consultant. Journalists in Central and Eastern Europe are struggling to hold on to the gains they made in the first two decades after communism. Ethical journalists in this region face a triple threat: a backsliding against the 1990s democratic reforms, a global Internet-driven erosion of the media business model, and the continuing world economic crisis that is exposing the fragility of democratic institutions. This report examines the state of independent news media in Central and Eastern Europe 20 years after the fall of communism.

This study was written as part of "Internet Freedom Report 2014: Visegrad Four," a project of Transitions (TOL) and PASOS (Policy Association for an Open Society), with support from Google. The research is based on detailed analysis of the current situation - in law and in practice - using a methodology that examines four main areas, namely Freedom of Expression, Big Brother (surveillance, regulation, and interference by the state), the Legal Maze (the clarity of the legal framework in terms of its letter and practice), and Open Government (transparency and online disclosure by government of its functioning and decisions, such as budget information and tender contracts).

Media Law is a fast developing and increasingly high profile area of law. It is an area that allows scholars to look at advanced issues relating to freedom of expression and the right to communicate, and the way these rights intersect with competing interests. The course covers a number of key themes in Media Law and will begin by looking at the justifications for and meanings of media freedom. This introduction will provide a theoretical background against which the later topics will be evaluated. The topics in the course can be grouped into three broad categories:

(1) Liability for media content – for example, when can the press publish facts about a person’s private life? Do public figures have weaker rights to reputation? Will media coverage prejudice a jury trial?

(2) Legal assistance and control of newsgathering – can the police seize journalists’ notebooks? When do journalists have a right not to disclose the identity of confidential sources?

(3) Media regulation – what system of regulation should govern the press? Why do we have different regulatory systems for television and newspapers (and where should the internet fit in this scheme of things)? How much media should any person or company be allowed to control?

In different weeks, the course will build on areas already studied in Tort Law, Criminal Law and Constitutional and Administrative Law. The course will analyse these various issues in the light of the political and social functions (and responsibilities) of the media. In doing this, aspects of media theory and policy may be drawn on in the readings and discussion. At the end of this course students will have a good understanding of the key debates and principles underlying the legal controls on media and communications.

This option will not be available in 2023-24

Although occasional articles on law and the media have been published in Law and Human Behavior , this special issue is the first collection of articles on the topic to appear in the journal. By publishing some of the most recent work on issues in law and the media, we hope to draw the attention of psycholegal scholars to questions in this fertile research area that deserve theoretical and empirical study.

Law and the media have become inescapably intertwined. Because a relatively small proportion of the public has direct experience with the justice system, public knowledge and views of law and the legal system are largely dependent on media representations (Surette, 1984). Indeed, law, crime, and justice are frequent topics of media coverage. A substantial portion of local news pertains to crime and justice, and the legal troubles of our political leaders occupy a significant portion of national news coverage (Graber, 1980). Issues of law, crime, and justice are well represented among the most popular fiction and nonfiction television series and movies. The way in which legal events are covered is also changing. In the United States it is now routine to watch television news broadcasts that include videotaped highlights of ongoing trials, or reporters' posttrial interviews with jurors who have decided controversial cases. Thus the focus of this special issue fits well with the contemporary salience and importance of law and media issues.

Media Groups, Law Professors Push Back on Court’s Patent Sealing

By Michael Shapiro

Michael Shapiro

A coalition of media companies, a consumer advocacy group, and several law professors argued a Texas federal judge flouted the public interest by keeping under seal documents filed as part of a patent lawsuit involving Charter Communications Inc.

The court documents have been sought by the Electronic Frontier Foundation and relate to Charter’s argument in a case before the US District Court for the Eastern District of Texas where it claimed a license to use patents owned by Entropic Communications LLC because they’re both co-members of DOCSIS, a standard setting organization. Charter and Entropic sparred over whether the asserted patents ...

August is full of opportunities to keep your brand top of mind. With everything from back-to-school season to various social media holidays, there’s plenty to tap into this month. It’s the perfect time to build a content calendar that keeps your brand consistent and helps you stay connected with your audience. To help you make the most of the month, here are 25 unique and creative content ideas that align with trending hashtags and events. These ideas will help you showcase your firm’s expertise and personality, keeping your brand top of mind with your audience.

  • Attorney Insights Series on Industry Articles:  Create a series where multiple attorneys from your firm share their expert commentary on recent industry articles. Each post in the series can highlight a different attorney’s perspective, offering valuable insights and positioning your firm as a thought leader. This approach not only keeps your content fresh and engaging but also demonstrates the depth of expertise within your firm, providing followers with current and relevant information on key legal topics.
  • Summer Associates’ Experience Recap : Highlight the experiences of your summer associates. Share their journey what they’ve learned and their contributions to the firm. This humanizes your company and gives a behind-the-scenes look at your team’s culture and values.
  • Spotlight Client Success Stories:  Highlight positive client feedback by featuring quotes from awards or other sources. These endorsements are powerful tools that showcase your firm’s success and client satisfaction. Whenever possible, pair the quote with a brief summary of the case to provide context and demonstrate the impact of your work.
  • Repurpose Content : Take a popular blog post or client alert and repurpose it into a list graphic for social media. Visual content is more engaging and can summarize key points effectively driving traffic back to your website.
  • Common Client Questions Series:  Launch a series where lawyers from different practice areas share the top questions their clients most frequently ask, along with helpful answers. This series not only provides valuable insights into various legal topics but also helps potential clients better understand the key issues in each area.
  • Summer Reading List : Curate a “summer reading list” featuring helpful books, articles and podcasts relevant to your practice areas. This not only provides value to your audience but also positions your company as a resource for ongoing learning and development.
  • Lightning Round Q&As : Create a short fun video featuring some of your team members answering lightning-round questions. This adds a personal touch and helps your audience connect with your company on a more personal level.
  • Why Clients Choose Us:  In this social media post, highlight three key differentiators that make your firm stand out from the competition. Whether it’s your innovative approach, specialized expertise or exceptional client service, clearly showcase why clients choose your firm. This post not only reinforces your unique strengths but also provides a compelling snapshot of what makes your firm the right choice for potential clients.
  • Office Tour Post:  Take your followers behind the scenes with a series of mini vlogs where your employees showcase their individual workspaces or offices. Each team member can give a brief tour of their area, sharing personal touches like favorite books, awards or décor that reflect their personality and work style. This not only highlights the diverse and welcoming environment within your firm but also allows potential clients and employees to connect with your team on a more personal level. You can compile these vlogs into a series of posts, or create a highlight reel.
  • On This Day in Firm History:  Share a significant milestone or event from your firm’s history that took place on this date. Whether it’s the anniversary of a major case victory, the founding of the firm or the day a key partner joined, this type of post not only honors your firm’s history but also connects with clients by showing the experience and history that support your practice today.
  • Client-Focused Speaking Engagements:  Share recent speaking engagements where your attorneys have addressed key issues relevant to your clients. This not only highlights their expertise but also demonstrates how your firm is actively engaged in the topics that matter most to your clients, reinforcing your commitment to providing informed, cutting-edge legal advice.
  • Client Victory Spotlight:  Highlight a recent significant client win or matter settlement that exemplifies your firm’s expertise and commitment to achieving the best outcomes. Share a brief, high-level summary of the matter, focusing on the complexity of the legal issues involved and how your team successfully navigated them to deliver a positive result. For law firms, this could involve highlighting the strategic approach taken, the collaborative efforts of your multidisciplinary teams or the innovative legal strategies employed. Including a client testimonial or a quote from the lead attorney adds a personal touch and reinforces the impact of the win.
  • National Nonprofits Day : For National Nonprofit Day on August 17, your law firm can shine a spotlight on your nonprofit partners by sharing their stories and the impactful work they’re doing in the community. Highlight how your firm collaborates with these organizations, and encourage your audience to get involved or support their initiatives. You could also host a donation drive or fundraiser, offering an easy way for your followers to contribute. These activities not only demonstrate your firm’s commitment to social responsibility but also help strengthen your community connections and encourage broader participation in important causes.
  • Educational Carousel : Create an educational carousel post that answers a common question related to your practice area. These multi-slide posts are great for engaging your audience with bite-sized valuable information.
  • Key Qualities in Top Lawyers:  Highlight three essential qualities that clients should look for when seeking legal representation, particularly in areas where your firm excels. First, emphasize the importance of   deep expertise in specific practice areas, showcasing how your firm’s attorneys are not just generalists but true specialists with extensive experience and a track record of success in their fields. Second, focus on strategic thinking—the ability to navigate complex legal landscapes, anticipate challenges, and develop innovative solutions that align with clients’ goals. Finally, underline the value of client-focused communication, where your lawyers are committed to transparency, responsiveness, and clear, straightforward advice that empowers clients to make informed decisions. By illustrating these qualities through examples of your firm’s work, you not only educate potential clients but also demonstrate why your firm is the right choice for handling their legal needs.
  • Demystifying Legal Jargon:  Take a commonly used legal term from your practice area and break it down into simple, easy-to-understand language. Start by explaining why this term is relevant in your field, perhaps giving a brief example of how it might come up in a matter. Then, provide a straightforward definition, avoiding any unnecessary legalese. To make it even more relatable, consider adding a real-world analogy or scenario that illustrates the term in action. This approach not only helps clients better understand complex legal concepts but also demonstrates your firm’s commitment to clear and effective communication, ensuring that clients feel informed and empowered when navigating legal matters.
  • Back to School   Throwback Photos : Post throwback pictures of your team members from their student days for back-to-school season. This can be a fun and nostalgic way to engage your audience and show the personal side of your attorneys.
  • Collaborative Post Idea:  Partner with another professional services organization or industry association to create a joint post. This collaboration can take the form of a co-authored article, a shared case study or a joint announcement, broadening your reach and demonstrating your organization’s commitment to building strong community ties and fostering industry relationships.
  • Spotlight Your Firm’s Core Values:  Share the fundamental values that guide your law firm, illustrating how these principles influence every aspect of your work. Start by outlining the core values—such as integrity, client commitment, innovation or community involvement—that are central to your firm’s identity. Then, highlight specific examples of how these values shape your interactions with clients. By sharing real-life stories or case studies that reflect these values in action, you give your audience a deeper understanding of what your firm stands for and why these principles make your firm the right choice for their legal needs.
  • How We Spent Our Summer Vacation:  Showcase photos of your employees enjoying their summer vacations and create a photo collage to share on social media. This adds a personal touch to your firm’s online presence and highlights the importance of work-life balance.
  • September Events Preview:  Share a post highlighting the key events in which your attorneys will be participating during September. This roundup gives your audience a sneak peek into where they can connect with your firm, whether it’s speaking engagements, conferences or community events.
  • Love Litigating Lawyers Day : Recognize your company’s litigators on Love Litigating Lawyers Day (August 31). Share their achievements and contributions to the firm and highlight what makes them exceptional litigators.
  • A Day in the Life:  Take your audience behind the scenes with a day-in-the-life post. Follow an attorney or staff member through their typical workday, highlighting not only the daily operations but also the unique culture and atmosphere within your firm. This gives a personal and authentic look at what it’s like to be part of your team.
  • Behind-the-Scenes Content : Share behind-the-scenes content from a recent matter or project (while respecting client confidentiality). This can include preparation for a trial, team meetings or community service activities giving your followers a look at the hard work and dedication behind your firm’s work.
  • Book Lovers’ Day : For Book Lovers’ Day (August 9), your law firm can connect with your audience by sharing team members’ favorite books across various genres and discussing how reading inspires new ideas. Organize a book drive to help kids in need and support local libraries, encouraging your community to get involved. You could also host a book giveaway or share memorable quotes from favorite books. These activities showcase your team’s diverse interests and strengthen community ties while celebrating a shared love of reading and giving back.

Incorporating Hashtag and Social Media Holidays

Consider incorporating hashtag and social media holidays into your content calendar. These holidays – which occur every month – provide opportunities to stand out show pride in a cause you care about and be more human by showcasing your culture and people. While you don’t need to create a post for every hashtag holiday take advantage of the opportunities that make sense for your brand. Here are some ideas to help you for August:

  • August is National Black Business Month: Recognize your favorite Black-owned businesses all month long.
  • National Nonprofit Day (August 17): Highlight your nonprofit partners.
  • National Book Lovers Day (August 9): Ask your employees to share their favorite books.
  • National Dog Day (August 26): Create a photo collage of your employees’ dogs. Do the same for cats on International Cat Day (August 8).
  • National Women’s Equality Day (August 26): Highlight your women’s initiatives efforts and tie it to current events.
