We keep an eye out for the most interesting stories about Labby subjects: digital media, startups, the web, journalism, strategy, and more. Here’s some of what we’ve seen lately.
Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press / Jennifer R. Henrichsen and Hannah Bloch-Wehba / May 12, 2017
“This guide has two aims. First, in light of the Justice Department’s revised news media guidelines, we attempt to clarify the scope of U.S. government authority to obtain information about journalists’ communications. Second, we outline how some common journalism tools expose reporters and sources to risks in light of this framework.  It is our hope that a better understanding of the legal architecture that facilitates government access to communications records will help journalists make informed decisions about the types of security tools they use.”
