Description
We granted review to decide certain issues concerning the federal Constitutions guarantees of freedom of speech and of the press insofar as they restrict a states ability to impose tort liability for the publication of defamatory falsehoods. More specifically, we address the definition of a "public figure" for purposes of tort and First Amendment law, the existence in this state of a privilege for "neutral reportage," and the showings required to support awards of compensatory and punitive damages for the republication of a defamatory falsehood.
