Fairbanks editor testifies in Joe Miller lawsuit

Fairbanks Daily News-Miner editor Rod Boyce refused to answer most questions about sources Thursday during a deposition in Joe Miller's lawsuit against the Fairbanks North Star Borough and Mayor Jim Whitaker. Miller is accusing the borough of violating his privacy by releasing elements of his borough personnel file when he was a candidate for the U.S. Senate in 2010.

From the News-Miner:

A handful of borough employees and political blogger Andrew Halcro have also been deposed in the suit in the past several weeks. Miller's lawsuit is an outgrowth of a media claim that sought release of his personnel records during his time as a part-time borough attorney.

Boyce refused to answer most questions about sources asked by Miller attorney John Tiemessen, citing a state law that gives news organizations protection from revealing informants.

He declined to discuss whether any potential sources were former or present borough employees, elected officials, their relatives or their friends. He also declined to confirm that such sources even existed.

Boyce did, however, discuss two sources that had previously been made public.
