Libel Laws and Press Freedom
This chapter explores the actual malice standard established by a 1964 court ruling that empowers journalists in the U.S. to report freely on public figures without fear of litigation. It contrasts the legal landscape and media freedoms of the U.S. and the U.K., highlighting the chilling effect of restrictive libel laws in Britain on journalistic expression. Additionally, the chapter examines the conservative movement's efforts to challenge media credibility and the implications of landmark lawsuits for journalism and public discourse.
