In Cantrell v. Forest City Publishing Co., 419 U.S. 245 (1974), a reporter was writing a feature article discussing the impact upon a family whose father died in a well-documented bridge collapse. 419 U.S. at 247. The reporter visited the Cantrell's residence where he interviewed Cantrell's children. Although Mrs. Cantrell was not at home, his article contained a description of her demeanor as well as a statement attributed to her. The article also contained significant misrepresentations pertaining to the dilapidated state of the Cantrell home and their poverty condition. Based upon these facts, the Cantrell Court affirmed a jury finding and appellate determination that the reporter and his publisher had "published knowing or reckless falsehoods about the Cantrells." 419 U.S. at 252-53.
