Equal privilege

: Eugene Volokh rights a superb op-ed in today NY Times proposing a new, limited standard for shield laws that does not protect illegal activity — but (and he doesn’t emphasize this but does presume it) extends such privilege to anyone acting as a journalist, which is to say: bloggers.

: I tried to deal with similar issues here — when I asked whether you would go to jail for your blog — but didn’t do it as well as Prof. Volokh, of course.
