The Cost of Source Protection: Catherine Herridge in Conversation with Trevor Timm

Catherine V. Herridge, an Emmy Award‐winning veteran investigative correspondent, discusses the First Amendment, the U.S.A Press Act and the protection of confidential sources. Following a series of articles she wrote in 2017 about a federal espionage probe, the subject of the FBI case sued the US Government, accusing them of leaking information to Herridge, an alleged violation of the Privacy Act.
