The court has rules that journalists are no longer legally allowed to keep their sources secret. This will severely hinder the free flow of information with possible sources refusing to give information due to the fact that they can't remain anonymous.

Does this happen often? I didn't even know that reporters had an option to give testimonies and such. [SIZE="1"][S]if I skimmed it correctly anyways....[/S][/SIZE]
