Definition of 'journalist' scaled back in federal shield bill

http://www.rcfp.org/newsitems/index.php?i=11030

Washington, D.C. · September 18, 2009 · Newsgathering

Keywords: National Security; Shield Law

An amendment to the bipartisan Senate bill that would create a federal shield law for journalists will likely exclude many bloggers and internet journalists, according to the text of the amendment introduced by Democratic Sen. Charles Schumer of New York.

The amendment to the Free Flow of Information Act was quickly adopted when Sen. Schumer, a co-sponsor, introduced it yesterday at the end of a somewhat contentious Senate Judiciary Committee meeting.

Hill Transition: Senate Rejects Burris in Spectacle at Capitol By Paul Kane

Hill Transition: Senate Rejects Burris in Spectacle at Capitol By Paul Kane

Jan 6, 2009

"... Secretary of the Senate Nancy Erickson instructed Burris in a closed-door meeting that he would not be seated."

Although Ms. Erickson is on solid technical and legal ground - this is a shame. Mr. Burris is well-liked, respected, capable and competent. Another example of politics is stranger than fiction. We're now entering "The Twilight Zone"...

*****

Senate officials this morning rejected Roland Burris's effort to be seated as the successor to President-elect Barack Obama, telling the former Illinois attorney general that he lacked the requisite approval of state officials to be sworn in with the rest of the class of 2008 in today's launch of the 111th Congress.

With a stand-off remaining among Illinois officials over Gov. Rod Blagojevich's effort to appoint Burris to Obama's seat, Secretary of the Senate Nancy Erickson instructed Burris in a closed-door meeting that he would not be seated.
