In libel law, Actual Malice is a reckless disregard for the truth, such as when an editor knows that a statement is false and prints it anyway.
<h3>What is meant by
Actual Malice?</h3>
The legal test set by the Supreme Court for libel cases to determine when public people may be awarded damages in lawsuits against the news media is known as actual malice.
When there are libel or defamation claims, a requirement known as actual malice must be met. A false statement about a person that harms that person is defamation. The plaintiff, or the party who brings the lawsuit against the defendant, must establish actual malice.
Celebrities, politicians, senior or influential government officials, and other influential people are typically regarded as public figures or officials and must demonstrate actual malice.
