In the Matter of the New York Times Company, Appellants-Respondents, and Catherine T. Regenhard…

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division’s order, modifying it to require disclosure of the oral histories except for portions causing serious pain or embarrassment, to allow the Department of Justice to demonstrate any law‑enforcement privilege for six exhibits, and to uphold the privacy and intra‑agency exemptions for 911 and dispatch calls respectively. Justice Rosenblatt dissented in part, arguing that the 911 calls should be fully disclosed.
