Why do journalism ethics matter? SPJ Professional Standards and Ethics Committee member @clairemariereg1 says, "As journalists, we must hold ourselves to the highest ethical standards. Democracy depends on it." #SPJEthicsWeek https://t.co/scYvsQ8fWK

Journalist Catherine Herridge testified at a hearing today on Capitol Hill: "I hope that I am the last journalist who has to spend two years in the federal courts fighting to protect my confidential sources."

[Freedom of the Press Foundation @FreedomofPress]

@C__Herridge “Forcing a reporter to disclose confidential sources would have a crippling effect on investigative journalism,” said Catherine Herridge. "If you cannot offer a source a promise of confidentiality as a journalist, your toolbox is empty.”
