Julia Dacy Authors Federal Communications Law Journal note on shielding journalist metadata
June 1, 2023
Julia Dacy authored “Straight to the Source: Shielding a Journalist’s Metadata with Federal Legislation” in the Federal Communications Law Journal (Volume 75, Issue 3).
The note focuses on how communications metadata (information about a communication rather than its content) can be used in leak investigations, and argues for a federal shield-law approach that better addresses source protection concerns in the digital era.
