There's no law, that's for sure. I think there's a general expectation that if you're running for high office that your cards need to be on the table.
The media didn't start this. Of all people, Romney's father George started the practice 40+ years ago. He released his past 12 years tax returns as part of his bid for the republican nomination. Since then, every presidential candidate has been forthcoming with their tax returns.
