High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The protection of sources, sometimes also referred to as the confidentiality of sources or in the U.S. as the reporter's privilege, is a right accorded to journalists under the laws of many countries, as well as under international law.

As a result, problems such as corruption or crime might go undetected and unchallenged, to the ultimate detriment of society as a whole.
