  They weren't indicted for publishing a story. They weren't indicted for writing or producing a story. They were indicted for doing illegal things to try to obtain information to use in their story. In a similar way, someone trying to do an exposé by breaking into a business' office at night to steal records would be subject to criminal prosecution -- not for the story, but for the tactics used to obtain information for the story. (and of course the same grand jury also returned no indictment of Planned Parenthood on the claims made in the story, but either way illegal tactics to obtain information are illegal)
