New York courts do not recognize intrusion upon seclusion claims. See Howell v. New York Post Co., 612 N.E.2d 699, 703 (N.Y. 1993).

Courts in New York do, however, recognize causes of action for trespass and other illegal acts committed during the course of newsgathering. See the section on Entering the Property of Others for more information about trespass and the other risks you may encounter.
