The reporter’s right to freedom of the press is being restricted in responses 2 and 3. This is because the editor is demanding that the reporter name his sources, which threatens the reporter's ability to report confidential information and protect their sources. Additionally, the government official refusing to let the newspaper publish the story also limits the reporter's right to freedom of the press.
