Description
In the wake of a landmark Supreme Court decision, a shadowy campaign has emerged to weaken the protections that keep powerful people accountable for falsehoods. Tracing how legal threats, strategic lawsuits, and coordinated pressure can chill journalism, this book reveals the high-stakes struggle over what it means to “murder the truth” in a democracy. With fear and the First Amendment at its center, it follows the efforts of journalists, lawyers, and advocates who fight to preserve the standard that demands proof of actual malice. David Enrich brings his investigative, narrative-driven style to a timely story about free speech, institutional power, and the fragile rules that safeguard public trust.
