On Jan. 18, 2007, the American Society of Newspaper Editors convened an emergency summit of 100 newsroom leaders, national security experts, lawyers and others concerned about the compelled disclosure of confidential sources.

The gathering was held at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. The ASNE First Amendment Summit was made possible with the financial support of the McCormick Tribune Foundation. ASNE is also grateful for its partnership with The Poynter Institute in developing and producing this event.

We gathered these key video excerpts from the day.
