In Handelsman v. San Francisco Chronicle (1970) 11 Cal.App.3d 381, defendant newspaper published an account of a civil lawsuit filed against the plaintiff which was "translated" by the writer, who characterized the allegation of civil conversion as "outright theft." The trial court submitted the case to the jury with a special verdict which had the question of whether the story was, "a substantially fair and true report." When the jury answered in the affirmative, the court entered judgment thereon. The Court of Appeal noted in that decision that in determining whether the report was fair and true, the article must be regarded from the standpoint of those persons whose function it is to give the public a fair report of what has taken place.
