Friends,
Today, the Federal Shield Law was reintroduced in the U.S. House of Representatives. If passed and signed into law, the Shield Law would protect journalists who refuse to reveal anonymous sources. Obviously, this is huge and would be an incredible victory for journalism.
To ensure that our government knows how important this is, everyone should write to their representative to show your support. Ask family, friends, your neighbor - even if they're not a journalist, they should know that this law would help protect the First Amendment rights of journalists.
