On the New Freedom of the Press Act

The Daniel Pearl Freedom of the Press Act

By Staff Reporters

At the Medical Executive-Post, we take freedom of the press very seriously.

H.R. 3714

The Bill, now known as H.R. 3714 – The Daniel Pearl Freedom of the Press Act – was originally introduced to Congress by Senator Chris Dodd on October 1, 2009. Almost 7 months later, on April 30th 2010, HR 3714 passed in Congress. And, on March 17, 2020, President Obama signed into law, The Daniel Pearl Freedom of the Press Act.

The new law requires the State Department, in its annual Human Rights Reports, to recognize global threats to journalists, listing the countries and the governments that partake in heinous crimes against them.

Assessment

We agree with the new law and could not be more pleased … better late than never.
