Intimidation and Violence Against Journalists
While the articles linked below detail physical harassment, and in some cases, the imprisonment or even murder of journalists around the world to suppress the information they seek to impart to the public, recent developments highlight the aggressive tactics beings used to intimidate journalists here in America — namely, the threat of legal action to suppress politically damaging information (information which, in our view, the public has every right to know). For an excellent analysis, see law professor Geoffrey Stone's article, "Scared of Scoops" in the New York Times.
