Hearst Consolidated Publications, Inc. v. American Newspaper Guild
Opinion
This is an appeal from an order of the District Court dismissing a complaint in a civil action for libel and injurious falsehood. A newspaper publisher (appellant here) sued another newspaper publisher and some of its officials (appellees here) for damages due to publication of an article, a press release, and a letter to the Attorney General, reporting an alleged plan to dissolve by merger its publication. The District Judge was of opinion the complaint did not allege a legally cognizable claim. We agree.
Affirmed.
