Journalists’ Privilege: Overview of the Law and Legislation in the 109th and 110th Congresses

This report examines laws pertaining to journalists' privilege. Most states afford journalists some protection from compelled release of their confidential sources.

The Supreme Court has addressed the issue of journalists’ privilege under the First Amendment only once; in Branzburg v. Hayes, it left open the question of whether the First Amendment provides journalists with any privilege.
