论记者拒证特权与消息来源保密义务

On reporters' the juridical privilege of refusing to testify source and the obligation of keeping source secret

很多国家的法律及新闻职业伦理规范普遍规定了记者的消息来源保密义务和司法上的消息来源拒证特权,而在我国并没有规定,基于表达自由这一国际社会公认的基本价值,对该问题立法上应予以充分重视。

Many countries law and press professional ethical criterion regulate the juridical privilege of refusing to testify sources and the obligation of keeping them secret,but China does not.Basing on expression freedom,the basic value recognized in international society,we should pay attention to this issue legislatively.
