Title: When the Press Sues Over "Fake News"
Author: Brooke Gladstone, Bob Garfield, Jay Seaton

Length: 9 mins
Language: English
Release date: 03-08-17
Publisher: On the Media, WNYC Studios
Genres: Radio & TV, News, Business, & Culture
Publisher's Summary:
Fake news. What began as a description of utterly false articles, fabricated for political advantage or profit, was immediately co-opted by Donald Trump to attack any story or opinion piece in the mainstream media that has the temerity to correct him. Back in November, famed First Amendment attorney Floyd Abrams said that in the age of Trump the press should consider a form of defense it has long avoided: suing its opponents for libel.
The Grand Junction Daily Sentinel, a small paper in Colorado, may act on that advice. Accused by a Colorado state senator of publishing fake news, Jay Seaton, the paper's publisher, has threatened to retaliate with a libel suit, the very legal weapon that news organizations have historically fended off. Bob speaks with Seaton about this new strategy and how it could backfire on the rest of the media.
