The Public Interest Defense

What the public interest defense means in journalism law and how it is applied

The Defense

The public interest defense in journalism law -- the specific legal argument that the publication of material that would otherwise be actionable is justified by the specific public interest that the disclosure serves -- is the accountability journalism of the legal framework that determines what journalism can safely publish when the publication involves the specific legal risk that the subject of the journalism creates.

The Application

The application: the public interest defense applies differently across the specific legal systems -- defamation law, privacy law, confidentiality law -- that journalism encounters in its accountability reporting. The specific British qualified privilege defense, the American actual malice standard, and the specific statutory public interest defenses that different jurisdictions provide each represent the legal framework within which the accountability journalism operates.
