Attorney Dr. Yechiel Winrot has been appointed as the legal advisor to the Council of Haredi Journalists. Winrot, from the firm Dr. Y. Winrot & Co., will provide initial legal assistance to journalists who are members of the council and face legal threats or lawsuits. He holds a doctorate in defamation law and has lectured on the subject at Bar-Ilan University for over seven years. "I am happy to stand alongside the Haredi press," Winrot stated. "The field has expanded significantly in recent years, but journalists have not always received the legal support they need. It is time to give them what is rightfully theirs."

Legal support for conference attendees will commence after its conclusion.
