But I'm curious about UK, and not even sure about Canada or other democracies. US First Amendment is perhaps uniquely robust.

My understanding of UK law is the government has much more control over what information can or cannot go public. At least, from what my London reporter friends tell me...

I mean, why resort to anecdote? Look at the raid on The Guardian. There would be hell to pay if they tried that with the Times.

Yes, but we all know the outcome of New York Times Co. v. United States, and the precedent that it established.

The UK has been working on a new act that likely makes possible to charge journalists w/ espionage. http://www.lawcom.gov.uk/project/protection-of-official-data/#protection-of-official-data …

And while many in the US bask in (perhaps understandable) schadenfreude over Julian Assange, few doubt there would be an Espionage Act case here, which would set a troubling precedent for other news outlets.

Totally agree. I can't stand the guy, but I don't think he broke any laws. Even if he encouraged leakers to leak, journalists do that all the time.

I'm sure that Russia uses Russia Today, Sputnik and some guys who have journalist title for intel op, but reacting them in the way that erodes democratic values will count for Putin. The West has to find a way to deal with it, but it is not prosecution.
