"The attorney general has taken a necessary and momentous step to protect press freedom at a critical time."

The policy change follows revelations that DOJ officials under Presidents Trump and Biden sought to secretly seize reporters’ email records.

The Washington Post and CNN reported last month that their journalists’ communications were also seized by Trump’s DOJ.

The Justice Department under former President Donald Trump delayed notifying the journalists before pursuing their records.

The news media guidelines, now under renewed scrutiny, serve as an important federal safeguard for reporter-source confidentiality.

This is the second time in less than two years that a federal agency has compiled intelligence information about journalists.

A call transcript released to RCFP reveals that the secretary of state discussed terrorism, the conflict in Syria and more.

The content-based law would place financial burdens on news outlets, impeding First Amendment online protections.

The Washington Post, ACLU, EFF & others should get court documents in a case between DOJ & Facebook, RCFP argues.
