Yes, of course you can sue them! Remember, no one is above the law ☝

‼️ When it comes to suing the media for defamation, you firstly need to ensure:

πŸ‘‰ A journalist or media outlet published something false about you.

πŸ‘‰ That person acted deliberately and negligently.

πŸ‘‰ The false statement injured your reputation.

πŸ“š Published doesn’t only mean the defamatory statement was printed in a newspaper. It can be said on a TV program, on the radio, on a social media platform, in a speech, or on a website.
