Determination 22: Doug Elwood v. St. Paul Dispatch
Doug Elwood, et al., acting on behalf of 14 area gay rights groups, complained that an entertainment column contained inaccuracies and descriptive words offensive to local gay rights groups. Even though a second column by the same writer admitted and corrected the errors, Elwood complained that it didn’t sufficiently remedy the original inaccuracies and that defamatory language was used in both columns.
