I Am Not A Journalist!
All of you who are acting as my confidential sources in support of my ongoing efforts to bring you the best insights on breaking issues, please realize that the law may not afford you the same protections as when you are acting as a confidential source to "journalists" working for newspapers, books, magazines, or print.

U.S. SENATORS INDICATE BLOGGERS NOT JOURNALISTS
US senators indicated yesterday that a proposed law offering
journalists special privileges might not be extended to Web
loggers. The hearing came as politicians are weighing the
Free Flow of Information Act. The current wording of the
measure, proposed in identical form in the US House of
Representatives, offers protection of confidential sources
for anyone who "publishes a newspaper, book, magazine, or
other periodical in print or electronic word."
