Summary In addition to listing ways to build relationships with sources, Maass offers important ideas for reporters to protect their sources. "In 20 years of investigative reporting, I've developed some ideas and guidelines on how to cultivate news sources, and more importantly, how to protect sources. I fully believe we have a moral obligation to fully counsel potential sources on how their information will be used, and on the potential consequences they may face."
