Shield law Coming Up for Vote

The Free Flow of Information Act (S. 1419) otherwise known as the federal shield law for journalists is coming up for a vote in the Senate real soon.

Check out the SPJ Talking Points.

The national SPJ office urges members to contact their senators to support the bill.

NOTE: The DC chapter of the SPJ recognizes that many of our members cover Congress. We are not asking you to do anything that will make you feel uncomfortable. However, for those who do not cover Capitol Hill, please use the SPJ talking points to support a yes vote for the bill.
