The Bill of Rights in Action: Freedom of the Press.

Considers the conflicts over freedom of the press between the public's right to know, guaranteed by the First amendment, and the duty of all citizens to cooperate with criminal investigations to discover and punish wrongdoers. Shows how a reporter's protection of confidential sources can lead to important Constitutional conflicts over these issues.
