The PRESS Act aims to protect journalists nationwide from having to disclose their confidential sources, crucial for maintaining the integrity of news reporting and ensuring public access to information.
Lawmakers have been advocating for the PASS Act, referencing governmental overreach like the seizure of journalists' phone records, emphasizing its necessity for safeguarding press freedom.
The potential consequences of disclosing sources could deter individuals from speaking with journalists, leading to a chilling effect on newsgathering and diminishing public informational access.
The PRESS Act would extend legal protections to independent journalists and outlets that serve the public interest, thus bolstering the foundation of press freedom across the country.
