Literature of Journalism
Branzburg v. Hayes is a landmark Supreme Court case decided in 1972 that addressed the issue of whether journalists have the right to refuse to disclose the identities of their confidential sources in legal proceedings. The Court ruled that the First Amendment does not provide journalists with a special privilege to avoid testifying before grand juries, significantly impacting source protection for journalists and their ability to maintain confidentiality.
