GRACE POE ON AMENDMENT TO SOTTO LAW
On Amendment to Sotto law
We hail the signing of this new law.
This is a legislation whose time has not only come, but is well past its due.
Source protection should extend to all members of the media and across all platforms.
The freedom of the press and the right of the public to know are fortified when the media is able to gather and report news unimpaired and unafraid.
Several times, anonymous sources played the key to uncovering anomalies and corruption, making wrongdoers accountable.
