precident law watch this one. There are those who want to isolate Press and harass anyone who dares cross
that threshold calling themselves Press.. next they will want to give only paid press credentials..you watch..
QUICKLINK New Jersey · April 23, 2010 · Reporter's privilege New Jersey appeals court
concurs that blogger is not a journalist Keywords: blogger; Internet; Shield Law A New Jersey appeals court on Thursday
affirmed a lower court's ruling that said a libel defendant could not use the reporter's shield law because not all bloggers are journalists,
and the defendant was not engaged in journalism. The plaintiff, Too Much Media, sued Shellee
Hale in New Jersey after she posted comments stating that the company, which works with websites in the adult entertainment
industry, was profiting from a security breach in its program. Like the lower court, the Appellate Division of the New Jersey Superior Court found that although Hale kept a blog, she was not engaged in newsgathering
and dissemination at the time she made the postings -- and therefore not protected by the shield law. New Jersey courts have
frequently said that not all disseminators are newsgatherers and that although some electronic-only information qualifies
as news reporting, not all of it does. “Simply put, new media should not be confused with
news media. There is, of necessity, a distinction between, on the one hand, personal diaries, opinions, impressions and expressive
writing and, on the other hand, news reporting,” the opinion read.

Adoption Day presents a unique opportunity to celebrate the generosity and commitment of adoptive parents who have opened
their hearts and homes to children in need of a safe, stable and loving family. It also presents an opportunity to highlight the number
of foster children who are awaiting adoptive homes and to encourage people to consider becoming adoptive parents and making
a difference in the life of a child who desperately needs someone to care,” said Juvenile Court Chief Justice Edgerton. “These adoptive families are heroes to all of us for their selflessness
and willingness to make a difference in the lives of so many children,” said Probate and Family Court Chief Justice
Carey. “National Adoption Day is a tribute to the families who have demonstrated a full commitment to vulnerable children
in need of warm and caring homes.”
Celebrated annually throughout the country, National Adoption Day highlights the joysand benefits of adoption and encourages families and individuals
to consider adopting children who are in the foster care system. In Massachusetts, approximately 2500 children in foster care
are awaiting adoption; nationwide there are 129,000 children in foster care waiting to be adopted.
