No they don’t. A reporter or journalist is a citizen like the rest of us. If the constitution spelled out who is and is not a reporter, with a list of responsibilities, then maybe. The constitution only says in the first amendment that there will be freedom of the press, but does not define who that is.
There is no mandate for a reporter to watch government and there is no right for the people to know, and no special privileges for reporters. Like the rest of us, if they know details of a crime they must divulge the information. If I knew details of a felony and refused to cooperate I’d be charged as an acessory.
I sure hope you don’t believe that and just forgot the sarc tag.
