The search involved the seizure of her cell phone and other electronic devices, prompting concerns from media members about the implications for press freedom. While the Justice Department stated that neither the reporter nor the newspaper were targets of the investigation, media experts have described the FBI's actions as a significant escalation in threats to journalistic protections.
