English term or phrase: Confidentiality of sources
I am looking for a Hungarian expression or phrase that means journalists are not required to reveal their sources. In America this is often invoked when the journalist has deemed a source credible, but the source wishes to remain anonymous. It has almost always been upheld in American courts that journalists cannot be forced to reveal their sources. I wonder if such a concept exists in Hungarian media/law, if so, what is it called?
