Cardozo Public Law, Policy & Ethics Journal
Abstract
The article explores the tension between national security and the First Amendment, arguing that while the First Amendment remains a robust protection against government censorship, recent trends threaten press freedom, particularly in protecting confidential sources and accessing information. The author, drawing on personal experience as a media lawyer and reporter, emphasizes the importance of procedural safeguards and judicial oversight to prevent government overreach and ensure transparency.
