Description
f0416 On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal is considered, and, pursuant to MCR 7.302(F)(1), in lieu of granting leave to appeal, we AFFIRM the judgment of the Court of Appeals. We agree with the Court of Appeals that: ""In the case at bar, defendant reproduced, without substantial change, an apparently accurate article released by a reputable news-gathering agency.[*] There is no evidence or allegation that defendant knew the article contained falsities, and there is nothing in the content of the article itself that could reasonably have placed defendant on notice of potential inaccuracy. Under these circumstances, the wire-service defense is available, and defendant had no duty to independently verify the accuracy of the article. Summary disposition in favor of defendant was proper.""
