Скачать или смотреть Does a Federal Shield Law Protect Journalists?

Ever wondered if journalists are truly protected when asked to reveal their confidential sources in legal proceedings? This video explores the complex legal landscape surrounding press freedom in the United States.

In this video, you'll discover:
► Why there is currently no single, uniform federal shield law protecting journalists across the U.S.
► How the landmark 1972 Supreme Court decision in Branzburg v. Hayes shaped current protections (or lack thereof).
► The critical role of varied and often inconsistent state shield laws in the absence of federal legislation.
► What "reporter's privilege" means and why it's vital for investigative journalism and protecting anonymous sources.
► The ongoing vulnerabilities faced by journalists and their sources due to this legal patchwork, and calls for a nationwide standard.
