MYRON L. GORDON, Senior District Judge.
The plaintiff, Charles Woods, brought this diversity action alleging that he was libeled by a newspaper article which appeared in The Evansville Press (Press) on June 22, 1981. The newspaper is owned and operated by defendant Evansville Press Company, Inc. (Press Company). Defendant The E.W. Scripps Company (Scripps) is the parent corporation of the Press Company. The district court granted Scripps’ motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction and also granted the motion of the Press Company for summary judgment. We affirm.
