<nettime> Josh Wolf, a fractured skull and a vandalised police car |
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/02/06/AR2007020601601.html Voila, as a reading help: Journalist's 169-Day Jail Stay Sets U.S. Record SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 6 -- A freelance videographer, jailed for refusing to turn over footage of a demonstration to federal investigators, became the longest-incarcerated journalist in U.S. history Tuesday. Josh Wolf, 24, has spent 169 days in a federal prison after declining a federal subpoena for unaired videotape he shot of a chaotic July 2005 protest in San Francisco against the Group of Eight summit in Scotland. A police officer suffered a fractured skull and a police car was vandalized during the melee. In 1972, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that reporters are not entitled to withhold confidential sources or unpublished material in a grand jury investigation or criminal trial. # distributed via <nettime>: no commercial use without permission # <nettime> is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: majordomo@bbs.thing.net and "info nettime-l" in the msg body # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: nettime@bbs.thing.net
