In December 2004, television journalist Jim Taricani was sentenced to six months home confinement for refusing to divulge his sources to prosecutors heading up the “Plunderdome” corruption probe in Rhode Island.
Jim Taricani, Investigative Reporter for WJAR-TV in Providence, Rhode Island, joined us to debate Dan French, former United States Attorney for the Northern District of New York, over the freedom of the press and its limits. This discussion was moderated by Keith J. Bybee and co-sponsored by the Carnegie Legal Reporting Program at Newhouse.
