Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
American courts have traditionally established a high bar for proving libel or slander. So a growing number of potential plaintiffs are heading overseas to sue Americans in foreign courts. Critics call it “libel tourism”. Now American lawmakers are close to passing a proposal that would prevent it. Kojo gets an update on the debate, and speaks with a journalist who found herself on the wrong end of an international libel lawsuit.
