Reporter Who Broke Brett Favre Welfare Scandal Could Face Jail Time for Not Giving Up Confidential Sources: Report
Briefly

Wolfe has maintained that her reporting was accurate and unbiased. She, along with her boss Adam Ganucheau, have refused to reveal their sources. That's why this whole thing is so incredibly frustrating, Wolfe told ESPN. I am getting punished for something that I had no control over. I think most people can see that. I can't even start to describe what a travesty that is.
As mentioned in an ESPN report, Mississippi Today CEO Margaret White said at a conference that her outlet had recently exposed how the poorest people in the state were being embezzled by a former governor. Wolfe's reporting did not suggest Bryant was guilty of embezzlement.
Quin believes he has every right to know her sources. I hope the implication is that if you’re a reporter and you lie about somebody, you better be ready to defend your lies... You’re not immune to the law.
Although Ganucheau said he'd sooner serve jail time than make one of his reporters reveal their sources, a mtter of principle, he believes that protecting reporter confidentiality is crucial for journalistic integrity.
