Question

scenario:

1. A reporter writes a
story that reveals
Senator Carly Capitol
has been engaging in
illegal activity.
2. The reporter supports
the story with quotes
from anonymous
sources.
3. The editor of the
newspaper demands
the reporter name his
sources.

4. A government official
reviews the story and
refuses to let the
newspaper publish it.

Use the scenario to answer
the question.

In which parts of the
scenario is the reporter's
right to free press being
restricted?

1 and 3

2 and 4

2 and 3

3 and 4

Answer 1

The parts of the scenario in which the reporter's right to free press is being restricted are:

3 and 4

• In point 3, the editor demanding the reporter name his sources can be seen as a restriction on the reporter’s ability to protect the confidentiality of anonymous sources, which is an important aspect of journalistic integrity and the freedom of the press.

• In point 4, the government official reviewing the story and refusing to let the newspaper publish it is a direct interference with the press's right to report on matters of public interest.

Thus, the correct answer is 3 and 4.
