Rights Of Newsmen Widened By Court
The U S Supreme Court ruled that newsmen may report hearings fully and accurately while protecting private matters not in public records. The decision in Cox Broadcasting v Cohn invalidated a Georgia statute banning publication of a rape victim’s name when it appears in public trial records. Justice White led the majority, stressing press freedom safeguards fairness and public scrutiny in open proceedings. Justice Rehnquist dissented on ripeness. Powell and Douglas wrote concurring opinions.
