Media Story 14/12/12 :
Naomi Campbell is suing the Daily Telegraph for libel over an article claiming she organised an elephant polo tournament in India.
A spokeswoman for Campbell denied that the model, who campaigns against animal cruelty, had planned an elephant polo tournament in India as stated by the article on 3 November.
The online version of the article has been removed from the Telegraph website.
Campbell filed her claim against Telegraph Media Group, the publisher of the Daily Telegraph, at the high court in London on 5 December
Campbell fought a legal battle with the Daily Mirror back to 2001, she won a case for invasion of privacy, due to the Data Protection Act after an article and photographs of her leaving a Narcotics Anonymous meeting.
The Daily Mirror was faced with a total bill for £850,000
Overview / Summary
This reinforces the trust and reliiablility of traditional media. Perhaps traditional media and newspapers are no longer as intresting therefore their desire to spice it up with exaggerating and lying about stories may grab more readership. Nevertheless the bill given to the Dail Mail shows the outcome of such scams and that traditional media will have to stick to their simple and standard ways of writing the truth regardless of how dull or un-intresting it may be.
