Newspapers handle the problem by (a) not making
material available to
the public until it has been vetted by an internal editorial process,
and (b) having counsel available for review of content, both generally
and in specific cases, and (c) buying libel liability insurance.
I can't imagine an insurance company that would help us with (c).
Can I quote the above on Wikinews-l?
