"There, to my knowledge, have never been codified protections for journalists -- just standards." I didn't believe this so I decided to take to Google...turns out there doesn't appear to be any formal laws. There is section 8 of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (http://www.iachr.org/declaration.htm http://www.iachr.org/declaration.htm) but that means nothing.
