NAA tracks latest developments in push for federal shield law
A top public policy priority for NAA is enactment of a federal shield law that would enable journalists to protect confidential sources when subpoenaed in criminal and civil cases. In the wake of recent scandals involving the Justice Department's secret seizure of phone records that swept in communications of more than 100 Associated Press journalists, and the monitoring of Fox News reporter James Rosen's personal e-mail and cell phone records, this legislation is critical to protecting the free flow of information and the public's right to know. A new Web page tracks ongoing developments and also provides NAA members with access to shield law resources, including an op-ed by NAA CEO and President Caroline H. Little.

A new kind of activist journalism
Nieman Journalism Lab
J-Lab's Jan Schaffer writes: "If one shifts the periscope from new business models for journalism to new journalism models for news, I see the convergence of several trends that are beginning to provoke a new conversation about whether journalists can — and should — craft a more deliberate suite of tools that inspire movement and action. And if these tools were effective, would citizens begin to pay as much for news as they pay to go to, say, a TED conference?"
