Press council aims to guard First Amendment across media
In San Francisco, former California Chief Justice Roger Traynor chairs a National News Council formed to act as an ombudsman for the national media. It will hear complaints after informal resolution attempts, conduct hearings, and issue public reports on findings, starting with major news services and networks. Traynor says the public has a stake in press freedom, and the council should operate independently to defend First Amendment rights while avoiding government overreach.
