Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- Place the published passage and the proposed correction in two columns and mark the words that differ. Add no judgment about conspicuousness, timeliness or legal effect.
- What the lawyer must review
- The columns are fixed at setup. Civil Code § 48a(a) limits recovery in an action for damages for libel in a daily or weekly news publication, or slander by radio broadcast, to special damages unless a correction is demanded and is not published or broadcast as the section provides. The notice and demand must be served within 20 days after knowledge of the publication or broadcast. Section 48a(b) describes a correction published or broadcast in substantially as conspicuous a manner, in the same publication or on the same station, in a regular issue within three weeks after service. Section 48a(d)(5) defines a daily or weekly news publication as a publication, in print or electronic form, that contains news on matters of public concern and that publishes at least once a week. You decide whether the draft meets that description. Civil Code § 45 defines libel as a false and unprivileged publication by writing, printing, picture, effigy or other fixed representation to the eye, which exposes a person to hatred, contempt, ridicule or obloquy, or causes the person to be shunned or avoided, or has a tendency to injure the person in the person's occupation.
