Panel to Examine Confidential Sourcing in Journalism

The impact and implications of confidential sourcing in journalism will be examined by a panel of journalists, lawyers and legal scholars at the National Press Club. “The Future of the Free Press: Should Journalists Be Able to Use Confidential Sources and Seek Secret Information?” is scheduled for Thursday, December 7, 7 – 9 p.m.

Though efforts to enact a federal shield law have stalled in Congress, 49 states recognize some form of “reporter’s privilege” to protect confidential sources.
