In New York Times v. Sullivan, the Supreme Court established that public figures must prove "actual malice" in order to succeed in a defamation lawsuit. This means they must show that the statement was made with knowledge of its falsity or with reckless disregard for the truth. The ruling strengthened protections for freedom of speech and the press by making it harder for public officials to sue for defamation.
