+ | ==== AxaMonitor Not Subject ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | As a news site covering the lawsuit, AxaMonitor is not subject to such a hold, Pedraza says. | ||
+ | |||
+ | "State and federal laws provide legal protection against efforts to reveal the identity of confidential sources and from having to disclose unpublished information collected in the course of news-gathering," | ||
