    There are four basic stages at which freedom of the press has been or can

    be limited: (1) access to information; (2) prior restraint on publishing

    information (censorship, injunctions); (3) liability for publishing (libel and

    invasion of privacy suits, fines and imprisonment); and (4) requiring

    reporters to testify or otherwise disclose sources or materials gathered in

    the course of their employment. While this fourth category technically does

    not abridge freedom of the press-it does not bar access or prevent or punish

    publications-the "chilling effect" it has upon the ability of reporters to

    function and to gain their sources’ confidence certainly merits its inclusion.
