Federal Shield Law

NPPA supports a federal shield law, especially as it relates to photographs, digital files, video outtakes, and negatives. Once enacted, this legislation should provide qualified protection for visual journalists against unwarranted federal subpoenas and coerced testimony. It will also bolster existing shield laws that are found in most states by protecting against forum shopping for federal prosecution to get around local shield laws.
