Unless a state has a statute creating the privilege, news reporters have no general absolute First Amendment privilege and right not to reveal sources of news articles when ordered by a court. Research Wikileaks and the case against Julian Assange. 

Describe the purpose of Wikileaks and the U.S. case against its founder Julian Assange. State your opinion as to whether or not you feel individuals should have the right to publish anything, even if it compromises national security. Describe the rationale on which you based your opinion. 

Include at least three references to support your opinion. Cite references using proper APA format.

Your writing assignment should be prepared using Microsoft Word. Use 12 point Times New Roman font, double-spaced, with 1-inch margins.
