Question:

The Northwest Herald, a newspaper in Illinois, regularly received e-mail reports from area police departments about criminal arrests. The paper published the information, which is proper because the reports are public records. One day, the Herald received an e-mail stating that Carolene Eubanks had been charged with theft and obstruction of justice. The paper put that information into an issue that was to be published four days later. Several hours after the original e-mail had been received, the police issued another e-mail explaining that Eubanks had not been charged with anything; the correct name was Barbara Bradshaw. Due to a long weekend, no one at the Herald had noticed the e-mail until after the paper had been published. The following day, five days after the emails had been received, the paper published a correction. Eubanks sued The Herald for libel and for invasion of privacy. Does Eubanks have a good case for either tort? Why or why not?
