A Threat to Journalism
Date: 11 January 1996
Journalism will not thrive robustly if reporters are made to disclose confidential sources and the byproducts of newsgathering, like their notes or unused footage of videotaped interviews. That is the reason for the protection such material enjoys under the First Amendment and the New York State Shield Law. It is also why an impending Federal court showdown in a case involving NBC's "Dateline" program bears close watching. In a broadcast last May, "Dateline" reported on lawsuits brought by the parents of infants who died in a combination cradle and baby swing made by a leading manufacturer of baby products, Graco Children Products Inc. Graco is now seeking to obtain outtakes of "Dateline's" interviews with the parents and their attorneys, which the company says may be helpful to its defense against the parents' charge that defects in the cradle caused the babies' death.

Man in the News: Nicholas Scoppetta;Advocate With a Heart
Date: 12 January 1996
By Steven Lee Myers

Nicholas Scoppetta has been both a state and Federal prosecutor. He served as a deputy mayor and Commissioner of Investigation under two mayors -- one a Republican and the other a Democrat. He investigated police corruption for the Knapp Commission in the 1970's. He has taught law and, as a partner in his own law firm, represented clients as notorious as the Mayflower Madam. And yet when Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani appointed him yesterday to lead a new agency overseeing child welfare, the Mayor highlighted not Mr. Scoppetta's professional accomplishments but rather a personal fact: Mr. Scoppetta himself spent time as a foster child under the city's care.
