Guide to Journalist Shield Laws

The online Guide to Journalist Shield Laws is provided by the Poynter Institute, a school for current and future journalists, as well as teachers of journalists, based in St. Petersburg, Florida. The guide provides a state-by-state listing of what protections are available for journalists under state law. For each state, the guide indicates whether there are common-law or statutory protections. Specific code sections are indicated and code section text is excerpted. Relevant cases are also noted with complete citations. If a state does not have a shield law, relevant
state constitutional provisions are listed. Source : Poynter Institute
