context: Pennsylvania does indeed have an interest in Franklin's claim because its professional reputation and business contacts are based in that state. Although New York has an interest in protecting its media defendants and providing an environment for the free exchange of ideas, Pennsylvania's interest in protecting its citizens from harm to their proprietary interests resulting from a defamatory publication, in addition to providing compensation for such injury, outweighs New York's interest on this issue.
