[...] from where I sit, here is what mainstream media has done in the last 45 years on behalf of the public: * It has trained thousands of people to gather, interpret and disseminate information to the public. * It has fought for narrowing libel law so that our elected officials couldn't shut the press - or anyone else - up just for writing critical stories. Since New York Times v. Sullivan in 1964, public officials who have been defamed have to prove the mistake was made intentionally or recklessly. * It led the battle for state and federal open meetings and open records laws.

Sullivan, in which the Court went to great lengths to protect the media 's ability to report the news-even news that is false-so long as the republication is not done with a reckless disregard for the truth. What, then, should be done about information that is known to be false but is nonetheless necessary to inform public discourse? This Note suggests allowing republication based on the newsworthiness of the defamatory statements, i.e., when it ...

COLIN L. POWELL. He rose through the ranks of the U.S. military to become a four-star general and the nation's youngest and first Black Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the leader of the U.S. military and its No. 1 soldier who successfully led the nation in the first Gulf War. Colin Powell was then appointed by President George W. Bush as the nation's first Black Secretary of State and its top diplomat. Powell delivered the infamous "smoking-gun" address to the United Nations-based on faulty intelligence-to justify the invasion of Iraq, ignoring massive protest rallies and public outrage throughout the world.
