"Absense of Malice"

Sydney Pollack directed this film about the consequences of a Miami area newspaper publishing semi-confirmed negative information about a local businessman with mob relatives. Sally Fields plays an investigative reporter and Paul Newman is the businesman. Bob Balaban plays the lead investigator and Willard Brimley comes in at the end as a Justice Dpeartment honcho. The film is very entertaining (I've seen it several times) and provides food for thought regarding the role of the media and its responsibilities, or lack thereof, regarding the public's need to know and the privacy of citizenry.
