Assembly Refuses To Drop News Shield Legislation
The Wisconsin Assembly defeated a bid to send newsmen shield legislation back to committee 67 to 26, then voted 61 to 35 to not kill the unqualified shield bill. Debates cited Pentagon Papers, press freedom, and affidavits from lawmakers on the need to protect confidential sources and protect whistleblowers.
