The newspaper rule did not apply because the published clip already revealed identifying material (the woman's name tag and the unaltered appearance/voice of the man), the reporter's affidavit failed to identify any other informant whose identity required protection, and therefore the judge correctly ordered non-party disclosure; the application for leave to appeal had no reasonable prospect of success and was dismissed with costs.
