Catherine Herridge's appeal of an order holding her in contempt of court for not burning sources was held behind closed doors, says Julian Zelizer .

Zelizer : Herridge ’s appeal arises from her refusal to reveal sources for reporting about a federal investigation into possible connections between the Chinese government and a university that received taxpayer funding.

He says the outcome of the appeal will have outsized impact on the confidentiality of communications with national security reporters.

A strong Fourth Estate is needed to expose government malfeasance, including by Trump ’s adversaries.

Journalists who helped get Trump elected are the ones that need the PRESS Act .

The bill would help not only Herridge but all Americans who rely on — and want to see more of — her brand of intrepid investigative journalism.
