Reference: http://www.cnn.com/2003/LAW/05/03/smart.inquirer.ap/index.html SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (AP) -- Two reporters fired for working with the National Enquirer on an Elizabeth Smart story revealed their law enforcement sources to avoid legal action against them by the Smart family. Leaving aside the fact that the story and all of the components were patently false, I am interested in the opionions of the few press-persons we have here on the actions of the reporters. As a press person, are there any conditions under which you would reveal confidential sources? If so, under what conditions would you do so? If not, do you have any observations/comments/yawns you would like to share on the instant case? -- Yours, J.A. Terranson sysadmin@mfn.org
