Reporters have been known to claim a Reporter’s Privilege,which is supposedly reporter's protection under constitutional or statutory law, from being compelled to testify about confidential information or sources (Jones,2012). This situation has called for shield laws, which are used in thirty-two states, but every state has its own opinion and history of use in court cases. The Supreme Court has only had to deal with reporter’s privilege once since its creation in 1972, Branzburg v. Hayes has since been the go to case of reporter’s privilege.

Davie’s article “Crime and Passion: Journalism for the Masses?.” Davie cites the term “yellow journalism,” coined from Tabloid Tales: Global Debates over Media Standards authors Sparks and Tulloch, to describe the sensationalistic form of news that was popularized in the late 1800s. The sensational tabloids in Britain share the same space as many professional journals, while America separates the two so drastically because of the common professional’s contempt for the sensational methods in many tabloids (356). The British’s method of yellow journalism organization may be more effective overall, because the sensational articles can serve as an exciting gateway to more professional and accurate journalism for consumers.…
