"Journalists enjoy certain protections in a number of states - so-called "reporter's shield" laws. Under these shield laws, journalists are allowed, to a degree that varies by state, to withhold from discovery certain unpublished information and the identities of sources. However, at this time there is no shield statute at the federal level. Also varying by state is the definition of "journalist" as it applies to the shield law. In addition, journalists enjoy the protection of a higher burden of proof that is required to sustain libel actions against them by public figures. This generally requires a plaintiff to show actual malice by the journalist."
