Buckley Proposes State Journalism Shield Law
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman T Garry Buckley proposes creating a state Board of Journalism to certify reporters for shield law protection. Newsmen with six months on the job could obtain certification to avoid compelled disclosure, with possible five year revocation for libel or slander convictions. The measure would supply a statutory shield priority but not override constitutional press freedoms. Buckley stressed the shield is not a constitutional issue and the board’s power would be limited to certification and revocation after libel or slander findings. The board would include three journalists and two public members, appointed by the governor with Senate consent.
