Asked about the recent jailing of New York Times reporter Myron A. Farber for refusing to turn over his notes of the Dr. murder case, Byrne hedged on whether he thought Farber should have been protected by the New Jersey "shield law." "It's hard for me to make a judgment in the Farber case," Byrne said, but emphasized that he approved of the law that prevents a reporter from being forced to break the confidentiality of his news sources.

"I like the shield law. I've approved it, I've extended it," Byrne said, noting he had broadened the law to include radio and television journalists.
