Topics
Micah Loewinger: 本期节目讲述了记者Micah Loewinger在1月6日事件中记录誓言守护者Zello对话，以及随后收到传票，被要求出庭作证的经历。他探讨了记者独立性、第一修正案权利以及政府与记者关系等问题。他认为记者不应与执法部门合作，并最终选择出庭作证，尽管这可能会损害其在右翼群体中的信誉。他认为政府轻易获取记者个人数据令人震惊，司法系统存在缺陷。 Brooke Gladstone: 司法部需要记者出庭作证，以验证Zello录音的真实性。记者的证词价值有限，主要涉及录音过程。 Anna Sale: 作为独立调查记者，以政府证人身份出庭并非好事。 Roger Parloff: Zello录音是证明计划入侵国会大厦的有力证据。Jessica Watkins被判犯有其他罪名，但未被判犯有煽动叛乱罪，其个人经历可能影响了陪审团的判决。 Earl Caldwell: 讲述了记者Earl Caldwell在报道黑豹党时与政府发生冲突的经历，以及他如何对抗政府的传票，最终在最高法院败诉的故事。这起案件对新闻自由产生了深远的影响。 Lee Levine: 分析了Earl Caldwell案以及Micah Loewinger案，指出政府发布传票是为了压制与政府叙事相悖的报道。即使记者只是在陪审团面前声明其特权，也会损害其与消息来源的合作关系。 Micah Loewinger: 本期节目讲述了记者Micah Loewinger在1月6日事件中记录誓言守护者Zello对话，以及随后收到传票，被要求出庭作证的经历。他探讨了记者独立性、第一修正案权利以及政府与记者关系等问题。他认为记者不应与执法部门合作，并最终选择出庭作证，尽管这可能会损害其在右翼群体中的信誉。他认为政府轻易获取记者个人数据令人震惊，司法系统存在缺陷。

Shownotes Transcript

On January 6th, 2021, “On the Media” reporter Micah Loewinger recorded the secret communications of the Oath Keepers on a walkie-talkie app called Zello. After reporting on the findings, Loewinger received a subpoena calling on him to testify in the first Oath Keepers criminal trial last year. In conversations with “On the Media” host Brooke Gladstone, “Death, Sex & Money” host Anna Sale, and Roger Parloff, a senior editor at Lawfare, Loewinger grapples with the consequences of his reporting, and explores what happens when a journalist is forced to testify in court. Plus, Loewinger looks at the nineteen-seventies Supreme Court case United States v. Caldwell to understand the legal precedents for journalists being called on to testify in federal investigations, the limits of First Amendment privileges for the press, and the sometimes tenuous relationship between journalists and the government.
