A Wall Street Journal spokeswoman said the newspaper will fight the charges lobbed against one of their reporters following his arrest Wednesday.
The reporter, Douglas Belkin, was waiting in a designated reporters’ area in the Dirksen Federal Courthouse’s lobby while covering the Rod Blagojevich corruption trial when he left the area to pursue an interview.
