CAN THE MEDIA BE SUED FOR DEFAMATION?
Liyana The Lawyer
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:
👉 A journalist or media outlet published something false about you.
👉 That person acted deliberately and negligently.
👉 The false statement injured your reputation.
📚 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.
