Editors debate issue of confidential sources

"Is News Journalism Under Siege?" was the title of the July 17 Aurora Forum in Kresge Auditorium. A ripped-from-the-headlines debate that arose during the course of the event centered on Time magazine's decision to surrender a reporter's confidential notes and e-mail to the government.
