National security, government secrecy and a free press don’t easily mix – but the Constitution says they must. Join contributors to a new book, “Whistleblowers, Leaks and the Media,” for a discussion sponsored by the American Bar Association’s Standing Committee on Law and National Security, the Medill National Security Journalism Initiative and the Newseum Institute. The book is a compilation of essays on the constitutional foundations and limitations of the U.S. government and a free press in a contemporary context –hailed by one reviewer as a “trove of valuable material” for anyone seeking to understand the tensions between the nation’s national security apparatus and journalists in the age of Snowden, Manning and Wikileaks.
