Seems sensible... except who gets to decide what's a secret and for how long? And by "defend your actions in a court", you likely mean a court of the country who's secret you leaked? Or no? So would you for example agree to be extradited to Russia for saying there's a war with Ukraine? Or to China for mentioning the Uyghur genocide? It's a secret after all. Also, just being able to threaten journalists with court in general would have a chilling effect - especially in a place like the US where it costs so much money. By the way, the first and sealed indictment of Assange was not for leaking secrets. Make of that what you will.
