Cardozo Public Law, Policy & Ethics Journal
Abstract
The panel discussion explores the tension between government secrecy and media transparency, focusing on the challenges investigative journalists face in reporting on national security issues. The participants argue that while some secrecy is necessary for national security, excessive classification hampers transparency and accountability. They discuss legal battles, over-classification, and the need for a balance between protecting sensitive information and the public's right to know.
