1 answer

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

  1. When the editor of the newspaper demands the reporter to name his sources (this can be seen as an attempt to control the content of the report and the anonymity of the sources, which is a critical aspect of investigative journalism).
  2. When a government official reviews the story and refuses to let the newspaper publish it (this directly limits the ability of the press to disseminate information).

Therefore, the correct answer would be 2 and 3.
