"In the interests of fair, honest, accurate, and complete news gathering and reporting, and to assure access for the broadest spectrum of opinion and expression, and to protect editors from professional retribution, the Editorial Freedom Act prohibits major media owners, licensees, and their agents from bribing, threatening, subjecting to undue intimidation, or discrimination in hiring, for the purpose of influencing editorial content, any employee in an editorial capacity— i.e., those whose function is critical to the fair and accurate collection, reporting, and dissemination of news and information.
Said crime of editorial influence, intimidation, discrimination and/or professional retribution, shall be punishable by a jail term of up to ten years, and may include the forfeiture, divestiture of license, franchise, and/or equity interests, as well as fines deemed appropriate by oversight commissions or courts of law.
The protection of the public forum in major print and broadcast media, from editorial manipulation of news and information, hiring discrimination, and dis-information and omission is herein deemed of paramount importance to democratic practices and values. Therefore, the crime of editorial influence, corruption, retribution, and content dictation or omission shall be vigorously prosecuted and punished. In addition, for major media corporations, an independent review panel shall be established to review and approve hirings and dismissals in key news editorial personnel.
In view of the public’s award of a limited number of media franchises, increasing media concentration of ownership, near or virtual monopoly conditions in media markets, policies of editorial sameness working to exclude alternative viewpoints, and editorial intimidation all conspire to create an intolerable condition in media forums both public and private. Exactly these modern media market conditions, and the potential for influence by a privileged few, calls for the highest degree of editorial fairness, integrity, and necessary legislative protections in the public interest.
For these reasons, it is the intent of this legislation to prevent establishment of any ideological or commercial precondition, or necessity to adhere to any political, economic, or religious belief or affiliation as requirement for editorial employment in major media organizations— i.e., those with a substantial impact, reach, and position in the marketplace.
The intent of this legislation is to prevent deliberate or de-facto editorial omission and bias, discrimination in hiring and firing, and the establishment of a narrow, doctrinal, one-factor, media environment. Regardless of whether such condition arises via market monopolization, oligopoly, advertiser coercion, one factor’s (Capital or Labor) position of influence, or retribution against dissident editors, it is for the purpose of protecting the integrity of the editorial function, within such major media sources, and ensuring the very integrity of our democracy that this Editorial Freedom Act is enacted."
