Podcast: The Enduring Impact of Food Lion v. ABC Primetime Live
When is it okay for journalists to go undercover for a story? Where is the line between the individual right to privacy and the press’ right to gather news? Can the courts hold the press to its ethical standards? These are some of the questions raised by the Food Lion vs. ABC Primetime case from July 1995. Unfortunately, there seem to be no more clear answers today than there were more than 25 years ago.
