Imagine the following scenario:

Question

There's a late night scene at a newsroom office where a female journalist with Hispanic descent appears frustrated while working on her computer. Across the room, her Caucasian boss, in an authoritative pose, seems to be demanding something from her. Moreover, a document with official looking emblem representing a government authority is prominently shown on the desk. However, this drama unfolds without revealing any identities, showing the intensity and conflict of journalism and media ethics.

Imagine the following scenario:

A reporter writes a story that reveals Senator Carly Capitol has been engaging in illegal activity.

The reporter supports the story with quotes from anonymous sources.

The editor of the newspaper demands the reporter name his sources.

A government official reviews the story and refuses to let the newspaper publish it.

Answer 1

The correct answer is 2 and 4.

In part 2, the editor of the newspaper demanding the reporter name his sources is a restriction on the reporter's right to free press. This demand puts pressure on the reporter to disclose confidential information and may discourage future sources from coming forward.

In part 4, the government official refusing to let the newspaper publish the story is another restriction on the reporter's right to free press. This censorship prevents the story from being made public and limits the dissemination of important information to the public.
