Editor's Notes

  1. Against the law to smear someone’s reputation through false claims. The court has to balance – Defamation of someone/Freedom of press.
  2. Libel – Those who argue for libel do not need to argue their defamation, though the accused (Newspapers) must prove that their reputation was not damaged. Slander – Those arguing for Slander have to argue that defamation did actually occur.
  3. McCann story – Article seemed to be mainly based on partisan than fact. The “Opinion” seemed to damage the reputation of the parents. The Independent - “Portuguese detective who published a book alleging that Madeleine McCann died inside her parents' apartment.” Kate and Gerry McCann launched legal action against Goncalo Amaral after he publicly questioned their accounts of what happened to their daughter. Tuesday, 12 January 2010
  4. 1 - Facts published, not libel. 2 - Fair opinion relating to public interest? Not libel. 3 – Legal “principle of privilege” – Even if inaccurate, if it was something the public should deserve to know, it would be allowed. HW- What is the law of libel?
