Reporter Shield Protects Jobs Biographer in Apple e-Book Case
Posted: 7/30/2012 | By: Jeff John Roberts | paidContent.org
A federal judge ruled earlier this month that the laws of reporter privilege mean that Walter Isaacson, the author of a popular Steve Jobs biography, doesn’t have to hand over his notes as evidence in a class action suit over alleged e-book price-fixing.
The ruling came after plaintiffs issued a subpoena in May that required Isaacson to hand over his source materials.
