    does provide  support  for  the  press's  objection  that  liability

    threatens  them  unduly.  But  it's  hard  to sustain the claim that

    government's censorious hand would lurk behind a rule that  required

    the  press  to  compensete  individuals.  It  is  not  obvious  that

    enforcing a rule that simply prohibited publishing the names of rape

    victims would signal the beginning of the end of our cherished press

    freedom.

       Asking whether the press should be more legally accountable  than

    it  is now for publishing defamatory falsehoods about individuals or

    revealing rape victims' names touches a number of difficult,  highly

    discussed questions. In spite of the fact, by recasting a portion of

    the debate over legal accountability and by  focusing  attention  on

    the   disparity   of   legal  treatment  between  producers  in  the

    information  market  and  those  in  other  markets  for  goods  and

    services,  it  does  seem  possible  to gain some fresh and possibly

    useful insight.

       The reality seems to be that,  with respect to  the  quality  and

    quantity   of   political   information,  free  competition  in  the

    marketplace of ideas performs  admirably,  with  inventive  ways  of

    overcoming  market  failure  and  with  flexibility in adapting to a

    countless consumers preferences.

       In light of this reality it ought not to be amiss to suggest that

    when neither the threat of increasing a supposed undersupply nor the

    looming shadow of government censorship is implicated, the massmedia

    should be liable for egregious errors.
