THE HONOR OF A REPORTER’S
WORD.
In Texas a federal judge sent
four reporters to jail for an hour
because they refused to tell where
they had procured certain infor
mation.
Refusal to divulge the source of
the inf rmation published was
based on the honor of each re
porter’s word.
Any honorable reporter, given
information in confidence, would
go to jail before he would violate
his promise not to tell where h'e
got the information.
The sources of information of
great usefulness to the public
would soon be closed to the re
porter who failed to keep faith.
Of course, some reporters are
too weak to guard these confi
dences. A judge might frighten
them inlo a betrayal of the trust.
But, be it said to the credit of
reporters as a class, most of them
will go smilingly to jail before
they will reveal what they have
promised not to reveal.
No good purpose is to be ser
ved by the judicial practice of
trying to compel reporters to
disclose the sources of confiden
tial information.
Judges who try to compel re
porters to betray the trust im
posed in them are antagonistic
alike to the American press and
the American public.
In tin* nature of things much
of the useful and necessary Infor
mation gathered hy reporters
must come from confidential
sources. Few of tin* larger abuses
in the public service wnuM come
to light except through strictly
confidential sources.
The information is not to he
held in confidence; il is, upon
verification, to he published. But
the name of the furnisher of the
information, in the first instance,
where confidence is exacted, is to
be withheld, and no honorable re
porter would break his pledge
thus given.
Judges who send reporters to
jail because they refuse to be
tray confidences imposed m them
will hurt the bench more than
they hurt tin* press.—Seatlie Sun.
