Imagine the following scenario: A reporter writes a story that reveals Senator Carly Capitol has been engaging in illegal activity. The reporter supports the story with quotes from anonymous sources. The editor of the newspaper demands the reporter name his sources. A government official reviews the story and refuses to let the newspaper publish it. Question Use the scenario to answer the question. In which parts of the scenario is the reporter’s right to free press being restricted? (1 point) Responses 1 and 3 1 and 3 2 and 4 2 and 4 2 and 3 2 and 3 3 and 4

Answer 1

The reporter’s right to free press is being restricted in parts 2 and 4 of the scenario.

• Part 2 discusses the editor demanding the reporter name his sources, which can pressure the reporter to reveal confidential information, potentially undermining the freedom of the press to investigate and report on stories without fear of retribution.
• Part 4 mentions a government official reviewing the story and refusing to let the newspaper publish it, which directly restricts the ability to disseminate information to the public, a core aspect of free press.

Therefore, the correct response is 2 and 4.
