While source identities are not protected under federal law, most states have shield laws to protect them.

40 out of 50 states (New York is one of them) have shield laws that offer varying degrees of protection to journalists from being compelled to disclose confidential sources. These laws typically require courts to weigh the competing interests of protecting the identity of the source and the need for the information in a legal proceeding.

The 10 states without shield laws are Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Missouri, New Hampshire, Utah, Virginia, and Wyoming.
