Support PRESS Act, protect press freedom and public safety

From: A constituent in Philadelphia, PA

Protect the free press by supporting the bipartisan PRESS Act, which safeguards journalists' ability to report freely without undue government interference or compelled disclosure of confidential sources. This legislation establishes important limits on federal authorities' power to compel journalists to reveal protected information obtained through newsgathering activities. It strikes a balance by allowing disclosure only in limited circumstances involving imminent threats of violence, terrorism, or specified offenses against minors. Furthermore, it provides procedures to challenge overbroad requests and ensure transparency. Protecting the free flow of information is crucial for a well-informed public in a democratic society.
