fair reporting
Unbiased news coverage
Fair reporting is the accurate and balanced presentation of information, particularly in journalism, where it involves representing multiple perspectives without distortion or bias.
In legal contexts, fair reporting is a defense against defamation claims: journalists may report on official proceedings and public records even if the statements reported are false, provided the account is accurate and attributed.
The article met the standard for fair reporting by citing both the plaintiff's allegations and the defendant's response.
