Description
New York Times Co. v. Sullivan is number 5 on the list of most cited US Supreme Court decisions. This ebook contains the text of the landmark decision.
In the landmark decision, the Supreme Court ruled that actual malice is required in cases alleging defamation of a public official. A state cannot, under the First and Fourteenth Amendments, award damages to a public official for defamatory falsehood relating to his official conduct unless he proves "actual malice.”
Factual errors or content that is defamatory of a public official’s reputation are insufficient to warrant an award of damages. The facts must show that the person publishing the statements had knowledge that the statements were false or had a reckless disregard of the truth.
