The CNN defamation trial has begun in Florida, with the news outlet facing accusations of defaming a Navy veteran involved in rescuing endangered individuals. This trial comes at a challenging time for legacy media, which is already struggling to maintain its relevance in the digital age. As CNN navigates this lawsuit, it must also contend with declining ratings and increased competition from online news sources. With the rise of digital media, traditional news outlets like CNN must adapt to changing viewer habits and find ways to stay relevant. Key issues in the trial include media ethics and journalistic integrity.
