As a group of Senators draft a bill to protect journalists from jail terms for not giving up names of anonymous sources, bloggers are being left out in the cold, writes Wired, because according to the language in the measure they don't qualify as journalists - nor do freelance journalists "without contracts or those who publish solely on the web," according to the Reporters Committee for the Freedom of the Press.

Bills HR581 and S340 are gaining momentum in Congress as a result of the high-profile case involving an anonymous source who unveiled the identity of an undercover CIA agent. The U.S. Supreme Court last week let stand without review a lower court's ruling ordering two news organizations to hand over confidential information to prosecutors.

Time magazine this week gave in over the objections of reporter Matthew Cooper. New York Times reporter Judith Miller has continued to hold out and now risks jail time.
