Description
1 Jack Lester Martin (Martin) owned and operated a commercial pet shop. That shop offered pet grooming, sold pet supplies, and at times purchased and sold pets, including dogs. An individual bought a dog from Martins pet shop. The dog was purchased as the only means to recover that particular dog believed by purchaser to be his familys pet which had been missing for about a month. The purchaser reported the incident to "Call for Action," including a report of the poor condition of the dog, of other pets found there, and of the shop in general. "Call for Action" was a voluntarily manned program with close association to the appellant television station. Telephone complaints coming to that voluntary program were cleared for possible broadcasting with the one calling in. If judged newsworthy by appellants newsman, items reported to "Call for Action" were from time to time used as a portion of the early evening news program. Additional checking of the item was at the newsmans or his producers discretion. This pet shop complaint became a basis for some four broadcasts by the television station as part of the news program on separate days.
