Hats off to senior Fairfax journo Asele Ferguson. She plans to defy a court order that she release her notes of an interview with John Hancock, son of Gina Reinhardt.

If necessary she will go to jail rather than break a sacred principle.

It is a principle newspaper owners, and sometimes even editors, just don't understand.

If there is a court order there may be a valid reason for it?

I was once approached by a top lawyer wanting me to give evidence about an interview I had conducted. I refused.  I was amazed to discover the editor, a Pommy halfwit called Geoff Baylis, wouldn't support me. This twit, known to the staff as Secret Squirrel, just didn't seem to understand the principle involved.

Generally, I have no respect for editors.
