A quick definition of editorial privilege:

Editorial privilege is a legal right that protects journalists from being forced to reveal their sources or confidential information. It is a type of journalist's privilege that allows them to keep their sources anonymous and protect their freedom of speech. This privilege is important for journalists to be able to report on important issues without fear of retaliation or legal action.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Editorial privilege is a type of journalist's privilege that allows reporters to protect their sources and confidential information from being disclosed in court. It is a legal right that grants journalists the freedom to do their job without fear of legal consequences.

Example: A journalist receives information from a confidential source about a government scandal. The journalist publishes an article about the scandal, but the government wants to know the identity of the source. The journalist can claim editorial privilege to protect the source's identity and keep the information confidential.

Explanation: This example illustrates how editorial privilege allows journalists to protect their sources and confidential information. Without this privilege, journalists may not be able to report on important issues and hold those in power accountable. Editorial privilege is an important aspect of press freedom and the ability of journalists to do their job without fear of legal repercussions.
