Via Cynopsis Digital, “A congressional panel voted last week to shield journalists, ad-supported bloggers, vloggers and podcasters from having to reveal confidential sources in a variety of situations, defying stated wishes of the Bush administration. The Free Flow of Information Act defines journalism as “gathering, preparing, collecting, photographing, recording, writing, editing, reporting or publishing of news or information that concerns local, national or international events or other matters of public interest for dissemination to the public.” Non-commercial bloggers (i.e., those who do not derive “financial gain or livelihood from blogging) were excluded from the bill.”
