18 A university journalism class investigates a man who is convicted of murder and is serving a life sentence. They have a source within the prosecutor's office who has given them information proving that the prosecutor tampered with evidence. The judge has subpoenaed the class's records, but the students and teacher refuse to give up their source. The judge is threatening to throw the whole class in jail until they comply. Respond to the following: Do you think the class should hand over the source or should the class protect the source, even if it means they all go to jail?

19 A blogger learns from a government source that the U.S. intelligence community has reliable information that another 9/11- type attack is being planned by a militant group in another country with connections to a known terrorist organization. The source gives the information to the blogger because he thinks the public has a right to know about the threat and this blog is widely read. Government officials state that they do not possess enough specific information to inform the public in any meaningful way. The government wants to exercise prior restraint to keep the blogger from reporting the information and also wants the blogger to reveal his source. Respond to the following: Do you think the blogger should be barred from publishing the information or does the public have the right to know the information? State your opinion and explain your reasons, citing, as they apply to this case, the laws and ethical standards you have learned.

The TV station is subpoenaed, and the courts want the video with all its outtakes to use as evidence. The TV station refuses, saying that it is not an arm of law enforcement, that it is not required to supply information, and that the request infringes on its First Amendment rights. Respond to the following: Should the station comply with the court subpoena and turn over the video? State your opinion and explain your reasons, citing the laws and ethical standards you have learned as they apply to this case.
