" In the year of Judith Miller, Valerie Plame Wilson and of ever increasing secrecy in government, the questions of when and under what circumstances anonymity might be promised remained in the forefront of reporters' and editors' minds. This report is the culmination of a two-day conference convened in November 2005 by the ASNE Ethics and Values Committee with the generous support of the McCormick Tribune Foundation. Augmented by case studies and discussion guides, it describes the discussions and the lessons learned at that meeting."-- ASNE web site summary.
