Is there a new law which protects the confidential source of reporters
Yes, there's a new law which the board of Los Angeles Press Club strongly endorses the federal shield law. This gives a privilege for certain journalists to protect their confidential sources on some dangerous news or reports and the public's right to know.
The Free Flow of Information Act, S. 448 was voted by the committee last December 2009 and the press club urges the Senators Diane Feinstein and Barbara Boxer to help in bringing the bill to the full Senate for a successful vote.
