- Evaluate whether the person participated in unlawful acts rather than invoking press privileges reflexively.
Paul Harvey's Early Stunt
- Peter Robinson recounts Paul Harvey hopping a nuclear fence as early participatory journalism.
- Harvey was arrested, yet later became a national radio figure despite early overzealous charges.
