Massachusetts Shields Journalists and Sources | Boston News

Massachusetts just passed a landmark press shield law, giving journalists legal protection to keep confidential sources secret—unless there’s a compelling reason.

It’s designed to shield whistleblowers, empower investigative journalism, and reinforce the vital role of a free press in a healthy democracy.
