A South Carolina state representative wants to start registering journalists he thinks are “responsible” and penalizing those who he thinks aren’t.
South Carolina state Representative Mike Pitts (R) has introduced the South Carolina Responsible Journalism Registry Law which would define what a journalist is, keep a list of those who are seen as “responsible” and penalize those not on the list with fines or even imprisonment.
