<p>Delaware Superior Court Judge Eric Davis announced late on Sunday that the start of the Fox News-Dominion defamation trial — which was scheduled to begin on Monday in Wilmington — would be delayed by one additional day.</p>
<p>&#8220;The Court has decided to continue the start of the trial, including jury selection, until Tuesday, April 18, 2023 at 9:00 a.m. I will make such an announcement tomorrow at 9:00 a.m. in Courtroom 7E,&#8221; Davis said in a <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/16/media/fox-dominion-what-to-know/index.html?utm_term=link&amp;utm_content=2023-04-17T00%3A36%3A03&amp;utm_source=twCNN&amp;utm_medium=social" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> released Sunday evening.</p>
<p>The court did not give any details explaining why the trial was being delayed, but the decision came just after a <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/fox-news-dominion-prepare-for-battle-in-1-6-billion-defamation-trial-fad2e9a6" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> from The Wall Street Journal stated the network might be looking to make a last-minute settlement. Previous attempts to settle the case had been unsuccessful.</p>
<p>The Washington Post published a <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/media/2023/04/16/fox-news-dominion-trial/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> on Sunday suggesting that might be the direction things were headed, noting that the delay appeared to be a move designed &#8220;to allow both parties to hold conversations about the possibility of a settlement.&#8221;</p>
<p>Dominion Voting Systems has <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2023/04/17/dominion-defamation-lawsuit-against-fox-news-delayed.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">alleged</a> that Fox News allowed anchors to perpetuate claims that they helped to rig the outcome of the 2020 presidential election in President Joe Biden&#8217;s favor — and is seeking $1.6 billion in damages from the network, claiming that executives allowed anchors to continue making the claims even when they knew them to be false.</p>
<p>If the case does proceed as planned beginning on Tuesday the proceedings are expected to last approximately six weeks — and the outcome could have significant impact on the way the general public views media.</p>
<p>Victoria Baranetsky, general counsel at the Center for Investigative Reporting, explained: &#8220;In some ways, it’s just another piece of litigation for a large dollar amount, but it’s also unlike any case you’ve seen before, weighing the future of Fox News, what’s permissible for what a reporter can trust, and the future of faith in the media. In those ways, the stakes are high.&#8221;</p>
