The state Supreme Court has agreed to decide whether a blogger sued for defamation over her postings on an internet bulletin board can raise New Jersey's statutory protection of news reporters' sources and editorial processes.


A trial judge and the Appellate Division have said no, finding the privilege inapplicable to online posters not engaged in gathering or disseminating news. They found that although Shellee Hale, of Washington State, runs a website reporting on technical and criminal activity in the adult entertainment industry, she was not acting in that capacity when she posted statements on another site that were critical of Too Much Media, a Freehold software company.


The court agreed on Sept. 8 to hear Hale's interlocutory appeal, "limited only to those issues relating to the New Jersey Shield Law and the First Amendment of the United States Constitution."

Hale is being sued over statements she posted on Oprano.com, a website described as the "Wall Street Journal for the online adult entertainment industry."


Hale accused Too Much Media of fraud and "illegal and unethical use of technology," violating New Jersey's Identity Theft Protection Act and profiting from the theft of e-mail addresses stolen by hackers in a 2007 security breach. Discussing a competitor's suit against Too Much Media, she said the company's principals "may threaten your life if you report any of the specifics."
