I would think you would want to bury/burn the notes so they couldn't be subpoenaed in court at a later time. (Good post, though! :) ) A slightly off-topic thought: I guess the policy varies from publication to publication, but I find it kind of odd that the paper still has a reporter’s notes from two years ago.
