VANCE, Commissioner.
The petitioner, Paul Branzburg, a staff writer for the Louisville Courier Journal, produced an illustrated story entitled “THE HASH THEY MAKE ISN’T TO EAT” which was published in the Courier Journal on November 15, 1969 and revealed how a copious quantity of marijuana was converted into the more potent drug hashish for which a locally profitable and -ready *346market impliedly existed. The story was based upon information acquired by the writer’s observation during an interview granted to him upon a pledge that the identity of the two producers of hashish would not be revealed.
