Well that's an interesting question for Library Newsbloggers such as ouselves.
The February 5, 2010 CQ Researcher has an interesting pro/con discussion about the protections extended (or not) to new media journalists, and the how the legal landscape is changing for journalism.
And while you're there, you might check out a discussion that is interesting for many of us at UCF, The Value of a College Education: Is a four-year degree the only path to a secure future?
CQ Researcher can also be found in the list of library databases at http://library.ucf.edu/Databases/
