A New Jersey appeals court has refused to block the imposition of criminal and civil penalties under Daniel’s Law against a journalist who sought to disclose a public official’s home address.

But the American Civil Liberties Union of New Jersey, which brought the challenge, says it will appeal the ruling to the state Supreme Court.
