A news media lawsuit from the inside

As an editor, Jack Limpert was sometimes sued, and he writes about the frustration of a deposition: "Things move slowly as the lawyers argue and make frequent objections, leaving the journalist to try to read the signals and avoid saying something that the opposing lawyers can use against you in front of a jury. Spend two days in a law firm’s conference room being deposed and you feel you’ve entered a parallel universe, one where the world of journalism seems far away."
