Shield law By KIMBERLY EVERITT Assistant News Editor A law designed to protect journalists from revealing their sources was the subject of a debate Tuesday sponsored by USC's College of Journalism and Mass Communications. Eight panelists from the law nnd rlin/^ii oonrl o V\ t al r\ auu incuiia nc/ius uidc-usauvj juiuu legislation. The forum, "The Right to Remain Silent: Criminals Have It, But Do Journalists," was held in the USC Law School Auditorium and attracted a crowd of more than 100. The topic for the forum arose from a recent case in which four reporters served time in jail after they refused to testify about information obtained while writing stories about state Sen. Huey "Bud" Long, convicted in the FBI's Statehouse sting. Judge Falcon Hawkins had ruled the articles inadmissible and had subpoenaed the reporters to testify about what they had written. Panelist Cindi Ross Scoppe, who works for The State newspaper, was one of the jailed reporters. "Whatever is in the newspaper is theirs to read, but I will not testify," Scoppe said. "If you tell 41 r.jP: Wr I s takes recyclable products from USC Recycling Office which will have a b rchase OaBB Eric Glenn/The Gamecock purchase of the Carolina Plaza Committee and the Budget and Palms disagreed and said the purchase would help generate new income for the university. * t debated someone you won't use their name, and then you do, no one will trust you again." She said once you compel journalists to testify, you break down the trust. Kooeri wncox, a ujl law professor, said justice may be better served by protecting the role of the journalist as a news gatherer. However, Wilcox was one of two panelists who did not favor a statute'implementing a shield law. John Shurr, bureau chief of Columbia's Associated Press, said 28 states have shield laws, either in constitutional or statutory form. "It may be a good idea," he said. Most of the panelists agreed the pledge of confidentiality to an informant should never be breached. WIS-TV News Director Randy Covington said, "It has to be that way, or you're out of business." "We are the easiest target," Covington said. "In^ead of speaking to the 100 people who saw the incident, they seek out the media." "TV w.,?.n.-? Mnrchall/Thp n,imprnrl< ) to the Paper Stock Co.
