Abstract
In the aftermath of the O.J. Simpson trial, numerous states have passed, or are considering passing, laws restricting so-called "checkbook journalism." This article analyzes the constitutionality and wisdom of such laws, particularly as they impact on the ability of witnesses to sell their stories to the media. It concludes that such laws violate the First Amendment's protection of freedom of speech.
