Can't Collect mintages As the court moved toward adjourn- ment later this month, it handed down several major rulings, including an important advance for freedom of the press. When a private individual figures in an event of interest to the public he cannot collect libel damages from newspapers, magazines, or radio and television stations unless he can prove the account was in'entionally false or was in reckless disregard of the truth. deciTms new standard came in a sion against a former distributer of nudist magazines in the Philadelphia area who had won a J273.000 judgment against radio station WIP for iis account of a raid by police obscenity-lnmters- . The court rejected the suggestion of former Atty. Gen. Ramsey Claik, who A. George represented Rosenbloom, that it approve libel judgments against newspapers and stations that do not use reasonable care in about private individuals. Justice Wi'liam J. Brennan Jr. said the press must be free to engage in robust debate on public issues without regard to whether the people involved are famous or anonymous. In earlier rulings the court had protected the media from libel suits by public figures unless they could show actual malice. 5-- v .ri!!
