A Fox News reporter lost a round in court when a New York state appeals judes ruled 3-2 that she had to reveal her sources in covering the 2012 shooting in a movie theater near Denver. The close decision means that the reporter Jana Winter can appeal. (Reuters, August 21, 2013, by Joseph Ax)
Winter cited law enforcement sources in reporting that James Holmes, the defendant in the shooting, sent a psychiatrist a notebook of violent drawings. Defense attorneys claim the sources violated a gag order. Colorado must obtain the approval of New York judges to enforce a subpoena to obtain Winter’s testimony about her sources.
