-- The USSC has found that you cannot prosecute the news org due to the First Amendment. --

Got a cite for that proposition? NYT v. US, 403 U.S. 713 (1971) [Pentagon Papers case] was about prior restraint.

That was the case I was referring to.

Apparently I was mistaken.

Has any news org/journalist ever been prosecuted for publishing classified info?

Interesting background.

No journalist yet.
