Description
Dill analyzes news and feature stories, reviews, editorials and cartoons that have provoked litigation to show how the reporting in each met legal standards. She dissects the editorial process from the investigating and reporting stage through editing and pre-publication review, examines high-risk police and court reporters' beats, outlines procedures for responsible reporting and shows how practical defenses can be built to reduce the risk of a suit. Drawing principles from recent libel trials, she points out the advantages of buttressing stories with information from official public records and proceedings, and of correcting errors. In her treatment of privacy, she examines embarrassing revelations, suggests ways of evaluating them for news value and public interest, and explores complaints about misleading portrayals and misappropriation suits over commercial use of names and photos without consent. ISBN 0-02-908070-3 : $19.95 (For use only in the library).
