What exactly is "secure email address"

I know of some services but they are for protecting the sender. Why would the receiver (journalist) need to use secure mail? Or is there some system I'm not familiar with?

Also, I bet if someone made it really easy to do this that more would.

<cynicism>Though I'm sure as soon as they do some enterprising PR people will start using it to spam them their press releases</cynicism>

As a completed unrelated comment: This was on the front-page with 4 votes. Slow news day? I thought it usually took more to get to the front page.

Secure means encrypted. Most people, leave alone journalists, don't know how to set up PGP and then use it properly.

It's there right in the article as well; the reference to secure messaging vs secure email.
