Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Congress shall make no law...abridging the freedom...of the press...
In short, the press can print what they wish. But the leakers of classified information must be caught. Any law requiring anyone to divulge the identity of leakers is not a law that is designed to abridge freedom of the press. It is designed to catch those committing a treasonous and criminal act.
If the press says that leakers will be discouraged from leaking, then that is not abridging the freedom of the rpess, either.
Prosecute the leakers and require all government employees to sign statements that they are not also independent journalists, and that they recognize that divulging any information for any reason to the press is a violation of the law.
