Journalist facing fines over sources says press must 'turn and fight' for 1st Amendment
'A former USA Today reporter facing fines for failing to reveal her sources for stories about the 2001 anthrax attacks said that news organizations need to go on the offensive in the fight to protect the First Amendment."As we all know, the news business is on a collective nervous breakdown,"
Toni Locy told a coalition of open-government and press groups. "It's time to stop running. It's time to turn and fight. If we don't fight for the First Amendment, who will?"'
