@juriskazha, there is only one way to keep journalist sources completely anonymous. Journalists themselves can't know who the source is. | |
|
juriskazha (2013-12-11 12:01:52) |
@Janamaja Then we have a credibility problem... | |

@juriskazha, check the facts that are given to you, don't trust the person because of who he/she is because anyone can give false info. | |
|
Jānis Jansons (2013-12-11 12:05:47) |
@juriskazha, in any case, you should offer the possibility for others to send information anonymously, give details on how to do it. | |
|
juriskazha (2013-12-11 12:06:57) |
@Janamaja That makes this very complicated. Face to face sometimes is best way to get info. | |
|
Jānis Jansons (2013-12-11 12:09:24) |
@juriskazha, true, but then you can't really protect them and it is possible that you miss out on some big and important story. | |

@juriskazha, especially if you are a famous journalist. Concerned parties could just start tracking their activities. | |

@Janamaja You can, under the law, remain silent on sources. There is no torture in the Baltics, merely psych. pressure. | |
|
Jānis Jansons (2013-12-11 12:14:26) |
@juriskazha, you don't necessarily have to torture to get information. In digital era there are other methods. | |
|
Jānis Jansons (2013-12-11 12:19:17) |
@juriskazha, in some cases where they already act illegally to get info, they would not feel bad doing something with your computers/phones. | |

@juriskazha, as it seems it was in the case of Ilze Nagla and Ilmārs Poikāns. | |
