Libel and Slander

Media Libel Law

Option B

without comments

You do not use the the name of the boyfriend, the picture, or the caption.

Since the boyfriend is not a suspect it would be foolish to imply that he is one. If he is never considered a suspect by the police he could probably sue successfully for libel. Running the picture if quite graphic, whole be in bad taste but it is not against the law or a matter of libel.

OR

Would you run the story using the name of the boyfriend, the picture, and the caption?

OR

Would you run the story using the picture but foregoing the caption, and the use of names?
