Abstract
2014 marks the 50th anniversary of the US Supreme Court decisions in Times v Sullivan and 40th anniversary of Gertz v Welch. These two decisions by the US Supreme Court had an important legal impact in the United States on federal law pertaining to libel, specifically proving actual malice and who is defined as a public figure or public official. This article analyzes both Supreme Court decisions within the context of present day online social media libel controversies. It also analyzes three recent federal court rulings where judges had to issue decisions based on Sullivan and Gertz's actual malice and public figure legal principles. The article concludes that both Sullivan and Gertz are still relevant to how other federal, American courts decide issues related to defamation published in social media.

About one of every six business stories focuses on international news, increasingly with a global emphasis, this content analysis of Business Week, Forbes, and Fortune reveals. The sample of 1964–1968, 1974–1978, and 1984–1988 stories finds there are more stories in the later than earlier period, but they are shorter so the amount of total space devoted to international stories has remained constant. Stories mention a U.S. connection about half the time. The relationship between U.S. trade and international coverage was relatively weak, with Western Europe covered more than U.S. trade would justify and the Americas covered less. Cultural ties proved as important as proximity.
