The correct answer is O 2 and 4. In this scenario, the reporter's right to free press is being restricted in both instances where the editor demands the reporter name his sources (2) and when the government official refuses to let the newspaper publish the story (4). In both cases, the reporter is being hindered in their ability to freely report information.
