The doctrine of republication operates as an exception to the single-publication rule in defamation actions. Republishing material in a new edition, editing and republishing it, or placing it in a new form resets the statute of limitations. This exception protects a plaintiff by providing "a remedy where the defendant edits and retransmits the defamatory material, or distributes the defamatory material for a second time with the goal of reaching a new audience." Determining instances of republication is fact intensive. Generally, a website is republished when its content is "substantially modified."
