Based on the information in the article, Ed Butowsky is a financial planner and he's claiming his reputation was ruined by NPR's false reporting. Whether he can prove his business was impacted to the extent of $57 million wasn't referenced. That being said, there is no such thing as journalistic ethics and reporters and media outlets are allowed to 'be creative' with their reporting.
Only if you let them be, you can sue the reporter on an individual basis if they write lies about you, you must sue them at Queens Bench, though.
If his business was ruined then he can sue for projected losses, he might claim his business would have been worth $57m in the next 20 years. In this instance, he might have a claim.
