What other than punitive damages can you sue for if a newspaper commits libel against you?

Question

How do I go about notifying the newspaper as well?

Answer 1

If the libel caused you to lose your job, for example, I imagine you could also go for compensatory damages.  

Answer 2

Unless you HAVE notified the newspaper, and they have refused to retract the libel, you don't have a case at all.

Libel needs to be maliscious in content, and untrue, AND cause you damage before you can expect any damages.  If they had a reasonable expectation that the information was true, it is not libel.  In reality, it's not libel until they are informed it is untrue (or until they should have known)

Your first step is to inform them you want a full retraction.  If they refuse, then you can think about a suit.

Answer 3

Actual damages (compensatory) and punitive damages.  Your attorney will notify the newspaper.
