Description
This case requires application and explication of our holding in Senear v. Daily Journal-American, 97 Wash. 2d 148, 641 P.2d 1180 (1982) that a reporter has a qualified privilege against disclosure of the identity of a confidential source. The lower court issued an order compelling petitioner David Hendrick, a reporter for The Daily Olympian, to identify such a source. Petitioner sought discretionary review by this court which we granted. We vacate the trial courts order and remand for further proceedings on the ground that there was not a sufficient showing to defeat petitioners privilege.
