  • A Legislative Proposal Limiting the Newsgathering Privilege to Journalists in the Greatest Need of Protection for Sources and Information
    Looking Out for the Watchdogs: A Legislative Proposal Limiting the Newsgathering Privilege to Journalists in the Greatest Need of Protection for Sources and Information Laurence B. Alexandert In 1999, North Carolina became the thirty-first state to enact a statute granting journalists a privilege to withhold information from compelled disclo- sure.1 The North Carolina law, like other journalist's privilege statutes across the United States, applies to persons, companies, or other entities engaged in the business of gathering or disseminating news. Further, by defining the privileged group in terms of newsgathering and disseminating functions, the General Assembly continued the time-honored practice of state legislatures in limiting the testimonial privilege to those who work for traditional news me- dia.' Over the years, debate has centered on whether journalists should have a privilege allowing them to refuse to testify about matters and news sources they have promised to keep confidential. Journalists have long demonstrated the need for such a privilege to protect valuable sources of news and informa- tion for stories that probe into sensitive matters. Weighing in favor of such a privilege is a wealth of scholarship identifying categories and justifications in areas of particular need.4 Scholars have also framed arguments favoring a t Associate Professor of Journalism, University of Florida.

No. 17 (May 12, 2011)1 CORPORATE LAW – SHAREHOLDER DERIVATIVE ACTION Summary An appeal from an order to dismiss a shareholder derivative claim. Disposition/Outcome The district court‟s dismissal affirmed in part because a prior settlement barred certain claims and Appellants failed to plead sufficient facts for certain causes of action. The district court‟s dismissal reversed in part because the court incorrectly conflated the concepts and standing and in pari derilicto and Appellants sufficiently plead facts for other causes of action. Factual and Procedural History Leonard Shoen founded AMERCO, a Nevada corporation, in 1945. AMERCO is the parent company of the wholly owned subsidiary U-Haul International Inc. (“U-Haul”). Through U-Haul, AMERCO rents trucks, trailers and storage units to the public.
