Read through the following hypothetical scenario 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.

Identify and briefly define three core reasons discussed in your LJMC book that are often used to explain why it is important to protect free speech. LJMC discusses these as legal theories of the First Amendment.

In light of the Hazelwood v. Kuhlmeier (1988) decision, several states have passed so-called New Voices laws to protect the rights of student journalists to be free from most censorship by school administrators. Is a state able to do that, granting more rights to students than what the Supreme Court has said is available to them under the First Amendment, or do those laws violate the Constitution? Explain the legal justification for your answer.
