In this episode, Rebecca talks with Max Mishkin of Ballard Spahr about the growing erosion of press freedoms and the legal challenges confronting journalists today. Max explains how changes in law, court decisions, and government practices are affecting public records access, source protection, and reporters’ ability to do their jobs. They discuss why these issues often fly under the radar, how local newsrooms are especially vulnerable, and what journalists should know about their rights as legal pressures continue to increase.
