The union responsible for broadcast journalists issued a statement on Thursday condemning CBS News’ alleged decision to seize the notes and research of investigative reporter Catherine Herridge after her recent layoff.
In a strongly worded statement, the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) expressed deep concern over the reported actions of CBS News, stating that the alleged move to seize Ms. Herridge’s reporter notes, which include confidential source information, is not only “deeply concerning” but also sets a “dangerous precedent” that threatens the core principles of the First Amendment.
