TRENTON, N.J. (AP) -- The New Jersey Supreme Court says bloggers and online posters don't have the same protections for sources as mainstream journalists.

The case involved a New Jersey-based software company. Too Much Media sued a Washington state blogger for defamation and wanted her to reveal her sources used on message board posts.
