This is an appeal from the November 16, 2006 judgment entered in the Court of Common Pleas, Luzerne County, in favor of Thomas A. Joseph (Appellee Joseph) and Acumark, Inc., (Appellee Acumark) (collectively Appellees) in their defamation action. The Scranton Times LP, The Times Partner, and Edward Lewis (collectively Appellants) claim that the trial court erred in entering judgment in favor of Appellees because Appellees failed to meet their constitutionally-mandated burdens to prove falsity and fault and that they failed to prove injury as a result of the alleged defamatory statements. Upon review, we affirm the judgment.
