===Newsworthiness===
{{main|Newsworthiness}}
According to Digital Media Law Project, the courts will usually side with the [[News media|press]] in the publication of private facts.<ref name=" Law Project" /> This helps to uphold the freedom of the press in the [[US Constitution]]. "there is a legitimate public interest in nearly all recent events, as well as in the private lives of prominent figures such as movie stars, politicians, and professional athletes."<ref name="Law Project" /> Digital Media Law Project supports these statements with citations to specific cases.  While most recent events and prominent figures are considered newsworthy, it cannot go too far and too deep with a morbid curiosity.<ref name=" Law Project" /> The media gain a lot of leverage once a person becomes a prominent figure and many things about their lives become newsworthy. Multiple cases such as Strutner v. Dispatch Printing Co., 442 N.E.2d 129 (Ohio Ct. App. 1982)<ref name="Strutner">{{cite web |title=Strutner v. Dispatch Printing Co., 442 N.E.2d 129 (Ohio Ct. App. 1982) |url=https://www.courtlistener.com/opinion/3939673/strutner-v-dispatch-printing-co/ |website=Court Listener |access-date=27 November 2019}}</ref> show that the publication of a person's home address and full name who is being questioned by the police is valid and "a newsworthy item of legitimate public concern." The last part to consider is whether this could be considered a form of [[doxxing]]. With the court upholding the newspaper's right to publish, this is much harder to change in the future.  Newsworthiness has much around it that is held up by court rulings and [[case law]]. This is not in legislation but is created through the courts, as many other laws and practices are. These are still judged on a case-by-case basis as they are often settled through a [[lawsuit]] of some form.<ref name="Law Project" /> While there is a fair amount of case law supporting newsworthiness of subjects, it is hardly comprehensive and, news publications can publish things not covered and defend themselves in court for their right to publish these facts.
