U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit

Local news outlets, represented by RCFP attorneys, successfully challenged the healthcare workers’ use of pseudonyms in court.

RCFP examines how lower courts have implemented the Supreme Court's 2018 decision in a case concerning location surveillance.

Warrantless, long-term, targeted surveillance can chill newsgathering and impair the ability of reporters to guarantee source confidentiality.

RCFP had urged the court to rule the state’s ban on such recording unconstitutional.
