IV. Who is covered

The reporter's privilege is available if the party resisting production "falls within the class of persons qualifying for the privilege" and the information sought to be protected was obtained in the "news gathering process." Bell, 412 N.W.2d at 587. The phrases "class of persons" and "news gathering process" are not defined by the case law. In Waterloo/Cedar Falls Courier, the court held that the privilege belonged to the editors and not the newspaper that employed them. 646 N.W.2d 97, 102 (Iowa 2002).
