ASNE joined an amicus brief filed last week in federal court (PDF) by the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press on behalf of several news organizations, including The Associated Press, The New York Times and The Washington Post. The brief supports the Delaware Coalition for Open Government’s constitutional challenge to rules of the Chancery Court of Delaware that allow blanket sealing of private arbitration proceedings and records, including court-supervised settlement agreements.

First Amendment Summit

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.
