Brake & Alignment Supply Corp. v. Post-Newsweek Stations of Florida, Inc.

472 So. 2d 517, 10 Fla. L. Weekly 1516, 11 Media L. Rep. (BNA) 2183, 1985 Fla. App. LEXIS 14920

Opinions

PER CURIAM.

We affirm the summary judgment entered in favor of Post-News week Stations of Florida, Inc., a/k/a WPLG-TV, CHANNEL 10, upon a holding that a truthful and accurate report of the outcome of judicial proceedings will not establish a media defendant’s liability. It is not libelous to restate prior accusations when winding up a news story. See Jamason v. Palm. Beach Newspapers, Inc., 450 So.2d 1130 (Fla. 4th DCA 1984); Applestein v. Knight Newspapers, Inc., 337 So.2d 1005 (Fla. 3d DCA 1976); see also Huszar v. Gross, 468 So.2d 512 (Fla. 1st DCA 1985).

Affirmed.

NESBITT and JORGENSON, JJ., concur.
