Judge vacates her order for Clarksdale newspaper to remove editorial criticizing local leaders
SUMMARY: A Mississippi judge, Crystal Wise Martin, vacated her restraining order that forced the Clarksdale Press Register to remove a critical editorial after the city dropped its lawsuit against the paper. The editorial had criticized local officials for not notifying the newspaper about a meeting on a proposed tax on alcohol, marijuana, and tobacco. Free speech advocates condemned the original order as a violation of First Amendment rights. The city’s lawsuit claimed the editorial was libelous and detrimental to their lobbying efforts, while the newspaper faced support from organizations like the National Press Club and the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression.
