You may very well have a case. The chief question is whether the story was false or not. If one or a couple of facts are wrong, but the story is substantially true, then you still have no case provided the "sting" of the misreported information is not materially greater. These issues are very fact specific. You should consult with a defamation attorney in your area about these issues.
