We always ask them why. They were essentially fishing for something that was not in the published photo. But the core of what they wanted was in the published photo. |
We think that if Washington is to have a shield law, that we should have the highest standard, and we don't see why we should settle for the lower standard of qualified for unpublished material when a higher standard exists. |
We would be perfectly happy to leave things as they are if you can't get the right bill. The core of a shield law is about protecting the public's right to know. The best way to do that is to protect the press's neutrality and make sure they're not being dragged into legal affairs. |
