“A reporter for a local news website has been ordered to give up his notes and name the sources of police investigation reports he used for a series of stories about two grisly Joliet slayings. Journalist shield laws do not allow patch.com reporter Joe Hosey to protect the source who gave him police reports about the January deaths of Eric Glover and Terrance Rankins in a home on Joliet’s north side, Judge Gerald Kinney said in a ruling issued Friday. Hosey will have 21 days to turn over all the documents he received and to reveal their source.”
