The media privilege that originated in the 1977 case of Edwards v. National Audubon Society is known as neutral reportage. This privilege allows the media to report on newsworthy allegations made by one side of a public controversy without having to verify the truthfulness of those allegations. However, this privilege is now in the shadow of uncertainty as it has been rarely used in recent times and its current status is unclear.
