Tell me no secrets :The journalist's privilege for nonconfidential information.[electronic resource] - 607 p.

Chair: Bill F. Chamberlin.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Florida, 2000.

Because little attention has been paid by journalism and legal scholars to the problem of nonconfidential information, this study focused on how much protection journalists have from forced disclosure of such information, where, and to what extent. For this study, about 350 cases involving journalists, challenges to subpoenas in federal and state courts were analyzed. The study concluded that there were not enough cases at the appeal-court level in most states to make any strong generalizations, but that journalists seemed to win favorable rulings from judges about 55 percent of the time. The states with the most cases and most favorable rulings were California, Florida, Iowa, New Jersey, and New York. States where journalists are not well-protected from subpoenas included Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Ohio, and Texas.

520 # $a Journalists have fought efforts to force them to testify in courts or before legislative committees for more than 150 years. Journalists until about forty years ago fought subpoenas largely on the basis of journalistic ethics: They did not want to break promises to sources. Since 1958, however, journalists have argued that the First Amendment press clause requires that they be granted a constitutional privilege not to testify or provide information. The U.S. Supreme Court disagreed, however, in 1972, in its only case on the subject to date. But most lower federal courts have interpreted that decision as allowing for the existence of privileges in some cases.
520 # $a Since 1975, some courts also have granted protection against subpoenas for journalists, nonconfidential information. Also, about two-thirds of the thirty-two jurisdictions with shield laws—statutory protections for journalists against forced disclosure—are written broadly enough to protect nonconfidential as well as confidential information.
