这几年,越来越多的笔墨官司困扰着新闻界。一向被视为“无冕之王”的老记们,屡屡被推向被告席,且大多又以败诉而告终。先前,新闻官司多半是以失实报道引起单纯的名誉纠纷案,如今,你写批评报道,有人告你侵犯了人家的名誉权和隐私权,你写“抬轿子”文章,人家也同样告你侵权。甚至一篇杂谈,一篇随感,一篇内参,一张街头抓拍的老年晨练照片,也可引起一场旷日持久的新闻官司。以至弄得那些潇洒的“老记”们不得不“顾左右而言它”。 In recent years, more and more brushstrokes have troubled the press. The old men who have long been regarded as “king without crown” are often pushed to the dock, and most of them end up losing. In the past, most of the press magistrates had caused mere unfair reputations by misrepresentation. Now when you write a critical report and someone asks you to infringe the reputation and privacy of others, you write an article entitled “Sedan Chair” and others sue you for infringement. Even an anecdote, an accompanying article, an elderly senatorial photo taken on the streets by an internal reference, can also cause a protracted press litigation. And even made those smart “old mind” who have to “care about it.”
