media law and ethics

In looking for media law and ethics scandals from 2010 i found there were actually a fair amount of libel cases. One case i found conscerning this was a case involving a police officer who was falsly accused of aiding a criminal group by giving them classified information. The officer ended up sueing the newspaper on a charge of libel and won the case with the paper paying a sum of money and publishing an appology letter. here is a link to the libel scandal .
