The Free Flow of Information Act, which is moving through the House and Senate, defines the term “journalist” so narrowly that it excludes many bloggers, freelancers and citizen journalists. This includes many independent journalists we depend on to ask the hard questions, get at the truth and deepen debate.
We have bloggers covering trials like the Manning case, citizen journalists covering disasters like Hurricane Sandy and freelancers covering wars and statehouses. It’s outrageous that Congress could take steps to shut out so many powerful voices.
