A Massachusetts Shield Law for Journalists?
Boston attorney Jeffrey Newman is trying to draft a reporter’s shield law for Massachusetts with the help of a committee of journalists because of several recent cases where journalists could have benefitted from the protection such a law could have provided.
The article does not say how journalists can get involved in the effort or help Newman.
