New Media Shield Law: Does Not Protect WikiLeaks or Independent Bloggers http://b4in.org/iHR
The amended version of a new shield law for journalists passed out of
the Senate Judiciary Committee today, leaving entities like WikiLeaks
and independent bloggers unprotected under the law.
Many current and former government
officials have expressed contempt for anything even remotely resembling
investigative journalism, as seen in the case of a former Obama adviser
who argued that Glenn Greenwald is not a journalist.
Even
media professionals have expressed similar opinions, with one senior
journalist for Time saying he “can’t wait” to justify a drone strike on
Julian Assange of WikiLeaks.
The definition of who can be considered a “journalist” was heavily debated in the Judiciary Committee this summer.
At the time, multiple senators, including Sen. Dianne Feinstein
(D-Calif.) were concerned that a shield law could be used to protect
WikiLeaks and similar groups.
