Solaia Technology, LLC v. Specialty Publishing Co.green2 sentences2024Id. at 585 . ¶ 17 In this case, the Law Bulletin argued that both the Article Snippet and the Article are nonactionable under the fair reporting privilege. 2024We agree. ¶ 18 As noted by the supreme court in Solaia Technology, LLC ( 221 Ill. 2d at 585 ), “Section 611 of the second Restatement of Torts provides: ‘The publication of defamatory matter concerning another in a report of an official action or proceeding or of a meeting open to the public that deals with a matter of public concern is privileged if the report is accurate and complete or a fair abridgement of the occurrence reported.’ Restatement (Second) of Torts § 611 (1977).” The fair reporting privilege overcomes allegations of either common law or actual malice. | 1 | 2 |

Counted by distinct opinions that both name this issue and are annotated to the section; sections every opinion cites regardless of issue are not filtered here, so read the counts against the total above.
Opinions by the citing court's state. A doctrine retained in one state and abandoned in another shows up here as a year span that stalls.
