Journalists will sometimes be told, confidently and incorrectly, that they’re breaking the law.
That happened this week when Rep. Andy Harris threatened to refer Cat Murphy, a student reporter with the University of Maryland’s @CNSmd, for prosecution for recording his press briefing. Maryland’s all-party consent law doesn’t apply to public press events, and Murphy kept doing her job.
To help other student journalists prepare for these situations, we explain what state recording laws actually say, explore where the First Amendment comes in, and offer practical tips for handling them.

Guy who buys his local newspaper to save it when most people won’t even subscribe to one can call journalism anything he wants.
“I was asked the other day if local journalism was boring, and I was like, ‘It may be boring, but it’s necessary.’”

John is the best. He wrote sentences that made me laugh out loud -- for decades, about all sorts of things. Memphis journalism takes another hit. But I guess 45 years will have to be enough.
Some news: After 45 years (including a 20-year run as movie critic/film reporter), I have ended my career at the Memphis daily newspaper, The Commercial Appeal (@memphisnews). I was hired Oct. 19, 1981; my last day was Oct. 1, 2026. I accepted a company buy-out.
