How is the tort of false light different from the tort of libel?

What will be an ideal response?


[In false light, the aim is to compensate the plaintiff for personal anguish, not damage to reputation. It may be the only appropriate claim when a false public portrayal causes personal trauma but no significant reputational damage. Also, only individuals, not corporations, may sue for false light.]
