It’s been awhile since I’ve posted anything about the Josh Wolf situation. He now has the distinction of being longest incarcerated journalist in US history for contempt of court, 170 days.
An article from Slashdot links to an interview with Wolf on Democracy now.
Video blogger and independent journalist Josh Wolf has been in a federal jail for 170 days for refusing to turn over to a federal grand jury a video of a San Francisco demonstration. On Feb. 6 Wolf’s length of incarceration set a new record for US journalism. “Democracy Now!” has an interview with Josh Wolf from his jail cell. If federal authorities can jail bloggers with impunity, it does not bode well for the future of citizen journalism.
