Online Guide to Journalist Shield Laws

Originally posted at Cornell’s InSite this Guide features state-by-state listing of protections available for journalists under state law.  “For each state, the guide indicates whether there are common-law or statutory protections.  Specific code sections are indicated and code section text is excerpted.  Relevant cases are also noted with complete citations.  If a state does not have a shield law, relevant state constitutional provisions are listed.  Links are made to free sources for state codes and constitutions."
