Wasting time on the taxpayer's dime. Too many exceptions; violates the equal justice clause at minimum. By the proposed law's standards I would not be considered a journalist although I write and publish "features" through my one-man 'net-paper, free of charge. I have a journalism bachelor's and worked large daily newspaper beats for 10 years -- but 30 years ago; so, age-discrimination as well? Also, I wouldn't be considered a "journalist" even though a court case involving me and one of my stories had set the first legal precedent supporting our state's shield law. Sen. Schumer is dumb and nuts and I shouldn't even waste my time letting him know it. But I better hurry if I do, before the witch hunt begins.
