The series called “News Wars” will begin airing on PBS tomorrow night. Part one of the series examines the political and legal forces challenging the mainstream news media. The second part looks at the legal jeopardy faced by a number of reporters across the country and interviews reporters facing jail time for refusing to reveal their sources.
