  • Handle with Care: the Evolving Actual Malice Standard and Why Journalists Should Think Twice Before Relying on Internet Sources
    HANDLE WITH CARE: THE EVOLVING ACTUAL MALICE STANDARD AND WHY JOURNALISTS SHOULD THINK TWICE BEFORE RELYING ON INTERNET SOURCES ∗ KIMBERLY CHOW This note examines two phenomena at the intersection of traditional media law and evolving forms of expression on the Internet, focusing on whether courts’ increasing tendency to view Internet sources as dubious will result in more findings of defamation among journalists who rely on those sources. Both phenomena are examined through the lens of traditional defamation law, under which a defendant may be found guilty of defamation if he is guilty of possessing “actual malice” in publishing the offending material—in one case, defined as writing “based wholly on” a source the defendant had obvious reasons to doubt. The first phenomenon is the pressure that the “24-hour news cycle” has put on journalists, who with increasing frequency are relying on what they read on the Internet as research for their articles. When those Internet sources turn out to be incorrect, the harm has often already been done because a respected news outlet such as CNN has re-reported the incorrect news. The second phenomenon is the recent cases in which courts have stated that certain Internet sources should automatically be viewed with skepticism, including sites that do not undergo a rigorous editorial process. Given these developments and the recent spate of embarrassing mistakes by news media in high-profile cases such as the reliance on false reports on Twitter of the chaos in New York after Hurricane Sandy and the misreporting of the name of the Sandy Hook shooter, the author advocates for greater diligence by reporters in checking the Internet sources upon which they rely, and discusses how societal recognition of the dubious nature of Internet sources could chip away at the significant protection against legal action traditionally given to journalists.
