IMMACULATE DEFAMATION: THE CASE OF THE ALTON TELEGRAPH By: Alan M. Weinberger* ABSTRACT At the confluence of three major rivers, Madison County, Illinois, was also the intersection of the nation’s struggle for a free press and the right of access to appellate review in the historic case of the Alton Telegraph. The newspaper, which helps perpetuate the memory of Elijah Lovejoy, the first martyr to the cause of a free press, found itself on the losing side of the largest judgment for defamation in U.S. history as a result of a story that was never published in the paper—a case of immaculate defamation. Because it could not afford to post an appeal bond of that magnitude, one of the oldest family-owned newspapers in the country was forced to file for bankruptcy to protect its viability as a going concern.

  • University Microfilms International 300 N
    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.

PALMER University oj Pennsylvania LIJAH PARISH LOVEJOY, "the first American E martyr to the Freedom of the Press," 1 was shot and killed on November 7, 1837. The one-hundred-and-tenth anniversary of his martyrdom provides a good occasion for examining some of the papers from his hand which have recently come to the Colby College Library. In 1832-1833 he was a student at Princeton Theological Seminary. His decision to attend this institution to pre­ pare himself for the Christian ministry was the result of a dramatic religious conversion which was a turning point in his life. Lovejoy was twenty-nine years old at the time of this conversion. All his life he had been subjected to strong religious influences. His father, the Rev. Daniel Lovejoy, of Albion, Maine, ,vas a Congregational minister; both of his parents, in fact, were devout Christians. Elijah at­ tended Waterville (now Colby) College, at that time a strict Baptist institution, from which he graduated in 1826.
