"Our democracy depends on the ability of journalists to ask tough questions, dig for the truth, and report what they find -- without fear of violence or persecution. Freedom of the press is a priority in our founding documents, and it must be a cornerstone of our domestic and foreign policy. Our bill reasserts our commitment to a free press at home and abroad, empowering the State Department to engage with these issues diplomatically on the world stage."
