IV. Who is covered

Wyoming does not have a shield law or any reported case law discussing who is covered by a First Amendment privilege against disclosure of certain information. The 10th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the balancing test outlined in Silkwood v. Kerr-McGee should have been applied to a plaintiff, who was not a journalist, who claimed that forced production of certain membership, mailing and attendance lists requested in discovery would violate his First Amendment right of freedom of association. Grandbouche v. Clancy, 825 F. 2d 1463 (10th Cir. 1987).
