The Daily Mail had to take down one of their from its website about the author JK Rowling because she sued the paper for libel, she says that they were publishing false statements about her. She claims that the online article was talking about her when she was a single mother and how it upset other people. She says that the paper has injured her reputation and caused her great distress and embarrassment. They filed out some documents at the High court in which her lawyer argues that the article was published across two pages of the paper in September last year and it suggested Rowling had given "a knowingly false account of her time as a single mother in Edinburgh." She believes the Mail story was "premised on a false picture" of her own article published 10 days before on the website for the single parents'

My view: I think what she did was really right, one one has any right to publish a false statement about someone in Britain. I personally think she did a very good job by raising her voice and fighting for the right. If she did not take any action against the Daily Mail then tomorrow they would have done more wrong things. By raising her voice, i think Rowling did a very good job because everyone knows how the Dialy Mail are, they hate everyone, which is why i think she did a very good job by taking this matter to court. This made them take off the story off their paper, which shows they got thretened. If she didnt say anything against them then they would have took this chance as a opportunity and they would have published false statements about others.
