Interview With Jailed Video Blogger Josh Wolf 457

Posted by kdawson on Monday February 12, 2007 @10:29PM from the alarm-clock dept.

Video blogger and independent journalist Josh Wolf has been in a federal jail for 170 days for refusing to turn over to a federal grand jury a video of a San Francisco demonstration. On Feb. 6 Wolf's length of incarceration set a new record for US journalism. "Democracy Now!" has an interview with Josh Wolf from his jail cell.
