Communication & Mass Media

Ron Rider is a reporter for City Business, a weekly newspaper in the city. He writes a series of articles that appear in the paper detailing a long history of the city’s Department of Finance not collecting sales from certain businesses. His articles refer to unnamed sources that he called “close to the director of the Department of Finance.” The city attorney brings criminal charges against the director of the Department of Finance, based on Rider’s articles and some independent investigation by the city attorney’s office. The director’s attorney says that she must have the names of Rider’s sources so that she can prepare her client’s defense. In part, she claims, there are people who would like to “get” the director (i.e., framed in criminal charges), and if those

are Rider’s sources they are not to be believed. The judge orders Rider to reveal his sources; he refuses. The judge holds him in contempt, and Rider appeals. The state does not have a shield law. However, the state’s courts have applied the generally accepted test to determine if reporters may keep sources secret. Should the appellate court order Rider to reveal his sources? Why or why not? What will be an ideal response?
