NRS 41.337 General, special and exemplary damages. If
a correction is demanded as provided in NRS
41.336 and is not published or broadcast within 20 days in substantially as
conspicuous a manner in the newspaper or by the broadcaster as the statements
claimed to be libelous or slanderous, the plaintiff may plead and prove such
demand and failure to correct and may recover general and special damages. In
addition, the plaintiff may recover exemplary damages if the plaintiff can
prove that the defendant published or broadcast the statement with actual
malice. Actual malice shall not be presumed or inferred from the publication or
broadcast.
