Reаd thrоugh the fоllоwing hypotheticаl scenаrio about a possible libel claim. Go through each element of libel, and analyze whether there could be problems if you were to publish this material. A correct answer will need to define and describe each element of libel and how each applies to this case. You'll also need to include a general statement evaluating whether you would publish this based on the analysis/application of each element. -------- You are the editorial page editor for a small-town daily newspaper. One afternoon during the political campaign season, you are visited by three members of a citizens group called People Opposed to Scandal and Soft Enforcement (POSSE). The group, composed of business leaders, educators, political activists and others concerned about crime, is opposing the reelection of local sheriff Angelo “Jake” DiPunto. The POSSE leaders ask that you run a guest column from the group that reads: Enough already! Our community is one of history, pride and decent people. But crime is taking that away from us. Violence, theft, drugs – crime has become an insidious cancer in our neighborhoods, and it’s time to fight back! You can begin on Election Day by saying NO to another term for one of America’s most vile and backward sheriffs, Jake DiPunto. At a time when we need leadership in law enforcement, we instead have a lazy, pathetic slob for a sheriff. He’s had eight years to prove himself, but all he has proven is that he’s more like a spineless politician than a leader for justice. How long will he keep looking the other way? The evidence makes us wonder: Is he taking bribes? Join with the citizens of POSSE in voting out this sleazy man who himself may soon be indicted for crimes. POSSE is an aggressive and outspoken organization, but also a reputable one, and you would run the column with clear attribution and byline to the group and its leaders. However, your own newspaper’s reporters say they don’t think the sheriff has ever been investigated for criminal activity, and you don’t think the sheriff is a slob.  Scenario adapted from: Zelezny, J.D. (2001). Communication Law: Liberties, restraints, and the modern media. Belmont, CA: Wadsworth.

Excess Light Expоsure Mаy Tаke Tоll оn Muscles аnd Bones, New York Times, August 12, 2016 New research in animals shows that excessive exposure to artificial light (light pollution) may be worse for health than previously known, taking a toll on muscle and bone strength. Researchers at Leiden University Medical Center in the Netherlands did an experiment where they randomly assigned a group of rats into either a (treatment group: exposed to continuous light) or a (control group: rats living under normal light-dark conditions — 12 hours of light, followed by 12 hours of dark.) This study kept track of the health of rats over six months where they found during the study that rats exposed to continuous light had less muscle strength and developed signs of early-stage osteoporosis. Identify each statement as true or false when considering certain aspects of this study.
