Journalists and Confidential Sources explores the fraught and
widespread reliance by journalists on anonymous sources,
whistleblowers, and others to whom they owe an obligation of
confidentiality. It examines the difficulties afflicting such
relationships; analyses the deteriorating "right to know" and
freedom of expression frameworks; and explores solutions and
reforms. The book discusses key Australian and international source
protection ethics rules, statutes, court cases, law enforcement
actions, and case studies. It highlights weakness in journalists'
professional practice codes governing confidentiality obligations;
discusses inadequate journalistic appreciation of the importance of
establishing clear terms and conditions underpinning
confidentiality obligations; and identifies shortcomings in the law
governing source protection. The book argues that despite source
protection being widely recognised as an important ideal, source
protection is under sustained assault, thereby undermining public
access to information, and democracy itself. The work focusses on
Australia but takes into account source protection in the United
Kingdom, the United States, Canada, and New Zealand. This timely
contribution to the global discussion on the subject will greatly
interest journalists, scholars, educators, and students especially
in the areas of media law and policy, journalism, media and
communication studies, and public relations; the legal fraternity;
and anyone who communicates with journalists.
