Abstract

The purpose of this Article will be to evaluate the need to protect the identity of sources of information from disclosure by extending the immunity statute to both newsmen and their sources. Also to be considered is the equally basic need to protect society from abuse of the immunity by unknown libelers and the infringements placed on the interests of justice by such an extension of the statute.
