Time magazine to fight defamation ruling by Indonesian court

Time magazine will fight an Indonesia court order to pay $106 million for defaming Suharto by alleging the former dictator's family amassed billions of dollars during his 32-year rule, a lawyer said Tuesday.

Todung Mulya Lubis called the Aug. 31 decision "a serious blow" to press freedom and a setback for Indonesia's judiciary.

The magazine says the May 1999 cover story in its Asian edition was based on four months' reporting in 11 countries—research that it says uncovered a complex network of corporate investments, bank transfers and property holdings in Switzerland, Uzbekistan and Nigeria.

Girl, 14, appeared topless in FHM
By John Plunkett

FHM has been censured by the Press Complaints Commission after it published a topless photo of a 14-year-old girl without her consent.

The PCC said the photograph, included in a gallery of mobile phone snapshots, was a "serious intrusion" into the girl's privacy and had a "significant effect" on her emotionally and at school.

Moreover, the commission added that the Emap men's magazine's failure to respond more quickly to the complaint "aggravated what was a significant breach" of its code of practice.

FIRST LOOK: Though People was the only weekly to put Halle Berry on its cover after the Academy Award-winning star revealed last week that she's pregnant, C magazine was the first to shoot her after the announcement. The two-year-old lifestyle magazine, based in Santa Monica, Calif., photographed the actress at her Malibu home on Friday for its November cover. "It was good timing," admitted Jennifer Smith Hale, C's founder and editorial director. Berry was shot on the beach wearing fall dresses by Jean Paul Gaultier and Pucci. Hale said Berry "seemed to be just ecstatic."

SIGNING ON: Sarah Cristobal has been named as senior Web editor of Harper's Bazaar online. Cristobal will take over the daily programming, video creative development and continuing rollout of new interactive features on the site. Cristobal joins from Style.com, where she was associate editor. She begins Sept. 24.
