In a 4-3 decision, the state Court of Appeals reversed a lower court's ruling that resulted in Winter being subpoenaed by New York to appear in Colorado, which has a weaker shield law protecting journalists.

What's your opinion? Does the court's desire to know who is talking to the media trump the reporter's right to protect sources?
