Senators announce compromise on federal shield bill
Two senators announced Friday that the Obama Administration has agreed to a deal that could allow plans for a federal journalist shield law to move forward next week.
Sens. Arlen Specter, D-Pa., and Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., announced that the new version of the Free Flow of Information Act will no longer only apply to "salaried employees" and independent contractors for established news organizations, but will cover freelancers and online journalists.
