Time is closing in on the PRESS Act
Donald Trump may have called on Republicans ([link removed]) to kill the PRESS Act, but it’s not too late for him to reconsider — or for the PRESS Act to pass. The bipartisan ([link removed]) bill would be the most important press freedom legislation ([link removed]) in modern history and safeguard journalist-source confidentiality — regardless of politics. That’s precisely why lawmakers from Sen. Chuck Schumer to Rep. Jim Jordan support it.
Call or email your member of Congress ([link removed]) and urge them to support the PRESS Act before time runs out. Federal law should protect journalists and sources who expose newsworthy information the public needs to know.
Gifts for the journalist in your life
If you know any journalists, you know that most of them don’t get into this line of work for the overwhelming paycheck. That means they don’t always treat themselves to gadgets and services that will make their jobs safer and easier. Dr. Martin Shelton, FPF’s deputy director of digital security, put together a guide featuring the best gadgets to gift this season ([link removed]) .
