State Laws May Shield Journalists From Testifying inLegal Proceedings

Autor John Ryan
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 oct 2013
Whether journalists have the right to refuse to testify in legal proceedings has been a contentious issue in the United States. Over the past several years, it became a hot topic as reporters were called to testify before a federal grand jury and at trial over who in the Bush Administration outed Valerie Plame as a Central Intelligence Agency spy. While reporters were forced to testify in I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby trial, whether a federal law will be enacted to protect journalists is still before Congress. This monograph thoroughly discusses the state of testimonial privilege for journalists in both the state and federal court systems and before Congress. It specifically compares and contrasts Illinois'' Reporter''s Privilege Act with similar laws in 31 states and the District of Columbia that grant journalists some form of testimonial privilege. It then analyzes how the Illinois courts have applied the law and assesses what protection journalists have in the state.
