The Practical Guide to Libel Law

by Neil J. Rosini

This work represents a practical guide for journalists and other media professionals and students in the increasingly complex area of libel law. Rosini offers a clear, well-defined three-step approach to understanding and avoiding defamation lawsuits. He fully details how the libel laws work and how media outlets can stay within the law's bounds, as well as how the risk of being sued can be limited by identifying potential problems, gathering the proper measure of factual support, and preparing the story in ways that take the greatest advantage of the law.
