The states that do have such laws are Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, and the District of Columbia. Each of these states defines and applies a journalist's privilege differently. They examine who is a journalist, what kind of information the privilege protects, and whether there are any qualifications to the privilege. In addition, there is no federal shield law, though the Department of Justice does apply something akin to a shield law at the federal level.
The qualifications contained in the shield laws are of critical importance to journalists, because the shield laws really provide little more protection than the common-law right to privilege. In states with shield laws, journalists actually receive more subpoenas than journalists in states without...

Some states require a confidentiality agreement between a journalist and a source for the privilege to apply. Some states hold that the privilege is waived if the journalist reveals any of the confidential material, which is, in essence, waiving the privilege if the journalist reports his findings. Finally, shield laws only cover confidential communications, not what a reporter witnesses, so that a reporter can be required to testify about what a source has done in the reporter's presence. All of these qualifications make it clear that reporters may have a limited confidentiality privilege, but that such privilege is not vigorous.

Ethics The question of whether the behavioral school of management or the classical school of management would be a better style for General Motors in its present state is one that is quite interesting. The unions would have the public (and the governments that bailed out the company) believe that the workers are the most important cog in the wheel of productivity at GM. However, upon further study, it could be determined
Balancing the Right to Know With the Right for Privacy and Records Confidentiality Balancing the right to know with the right of American public for the privacy and confidentiality of their personal information is a challenging enterprise, and it is reasonable to suggest that optimal solutions require careful analysis of the competing interests that are involved. Indeed, some proponents argue that the American public's right to know is embodied in the

Professional ethical rules may have developed under the wider umbrella of ethical principles, but they do not necessarily reflect what people would consider to be moral behavior. In fact, in some instances, acting in a manner that is considered professionally ethical may require people to
