It could damage a journalists reputation if their co-workers or editors find out that they are becoming close to a source. It may even get them fired.C-Harphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00675627430480829778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7930635246387575211.post-63014029039550067362008-04-08T10:29:00.000-07:002008-04-08T10:29:00.000-07:00Requiring a journalist to release the identity of ...Requiring a journalist to release the identity of a source can impede on a journalist’s ability to fulfill their central purpose of reporting the news, and it contributes to preventing journalists from supplying information to the public. If a journalist acquires the reputation of one who releases the identity of an anonymous source, no one will want to talk to that person and it destroys the trust the public may have in that journalist, the paper they work for, and the news industry as a whole.Lacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02522312874388966030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7930635246387575211.post-43143734565466062982008-04-08T10:21:00.000-07:002008-04-08T10:21:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Shammarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04113070573782053307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7930635246387575211.post-46917903685210365332008-04-08T10:13:00.000-07:002008-04-08T10:13:00.000-07:00I believe that is important to keep a good relatio...I believe that is important to keep a good relationship with sources. If a source request that a reporter keep their identity confidential, then the reporter should follow their wishes. Also, if a source wants to remain anonymous maybe the reporter should consider looking for other people to interview.Shammarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04113070573782053307noreply@blogger.com
