“The actions of the DoJ against AP are already having an impact - TopicsExpress



          

“The actions of the DoJ against AP are already having an impact beyond the specifics of this particular case, Some of our longtime trusted sources have become nervous and anxious about talking to us, even on stories that aren’t about national security. And in some cases, government employees that we once checked in with regularly will no longer speak to us by phone, and some are reluctant to meet in person.” “This chilling effect is not just at AP, it’s happening at other news organizations as well, Journalists from other news organizations have personally told me it has intimidated sources from speaking to them. Now, the government may love this. I suspect they do. But beware the government that loves secrecy too much.” - Gary Pruitt, President of the Associated Press
