CAN THE MEDIA BE SUED FOR DEFAMATION?
Liyana The Lawyer
Yes, of course you can sue them! Remember, no one is above the law β
βΌοΈ When it comes to suing the media for defamation, you firstly need to ensure:
π A journalist or media outlet published something false about you.
π That person acted deliberately and negligently.
π The false statement injured your reputation.
π Published doesnβt 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.
