ONA’s Legal Work in 2016

ONA’s Legal Affairs Committee was busy in 2016, weighing in on some of the biggest issues facing digital journalists. We joined over 30 amicus briefs, letters and other official submissions to strengthen protections for newsgathering and publishing. These included issuing an official statement against the U.S. Department of Justice’s demand that Apple decrypt an iPhone used by one of the San Bernardino attackers; joining interventions in France and Canada to protest overly broad application of the “right to be forgotten”; supporting journalists who seek access to public records in states across the country; protecting the right to record police activity; and supporting a FOIA reform bill signed into law on July 4. Learn more about ONA’s legal work on behalf of journalists in 2016.
