Description

The Right to Speak Ill: Defamation, Reputation and Free Speech Russell L. Weaver ISBN 9780890894897

Drawing on extensive empirical research, including interviews with defamation lawyers as well as journalists, editors, and producers, this book offers a comparative analysis of defamation liability standards and their effects on the media’s capacity to report on issues of public concern. The interviews were conducted over a twelve-year period marked by significant legal developments in the countries studied—Australia, the United States, and Great Britain—including the expansion of qualified privilege through the Reynolds decision in Great Britain and the Lange decision in Australia.
