With unanimous votes in both chambers, the state is one step closer to joining the majority of the country in adopting a media shield law.

As it reaches the governor’s desk, the stakes are simple: uphold trust, protect truth, and let the press do its job without fear. Kyle Pfannenstiel with the Idaho Capital Sun has the full story.
Editors Note: Kudos to the Idaho for taking steps to protect journalism rather than degrade and demean it.
