Jury finds ‘The New York Times’ did not libel former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin

The case, revived after an earlier dismissal, underscored the high bar for public figures in defamation suits—and spotlighted the fragile trust between media and the public. Larry Neumeister with Associated Press has the full story.
