| | Condit v. National Enquirer (Part 2) |
 | | While the Enquirer, unlike the individuals who sought section 48a protection in Denney and Field Research, is engaged in a publication enterprise effectively able to print retractions in subsequent issues, section 48a coverage extends only to those whose daily occupation it is to communicate the news rapidly. |
 | | The evidence shows a distinct lack of emphasis on the timeliness of news reported by the Enquirer, which militates against a finding that the Enquirer is the type of time-driven publication ("newspaper") the legislature enacted section 48a to afford special protection in weighing the balance between timeliness and accuracy in news dissemination. |
 | | Perel's capacity as editor at the Enquirer working on the O.J. Simpson case, and since 1996 is specified, and he asserts he has personal knowledge of these events, the objections to paragraphs 1-3, 5-6, 8-10, and 12-13 are overruled. |
