This is to protect the press on the federal level when it comes to investigative reporting.

H.R.4330 - Protect Reporters from Exploitative State Spying Act (PRESS Act), which would establish protections for journalists at the federal level regarding the revelation of their confidential sources except in defined circumstances such as threats to national security, passed the House Judiciary Committee on Thursday by unanimous voice vote. H.R. 4330 was introduced by Reps. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), John Yarmuth (D-KY) and Ted Lieu (D-CA). It now goes to the full House for a vote.

"I'm delighted that the House Judiciary Committee passed my PRESS Act on a unanimous bipartisan voice vote," said Rep. Raskin. "The constitutional promise that no law shall abridge the freedom of the press instructs us to protect journalists from government overreach and abuse of the subpoena power, and today this committee has made good on that promise. I'm grateful to Chairman (JERRY) NADLER (D-NY) for including this crucial legislation in today's markup, and I'm thankful to my colleagues on the Judiciary Committee for unanimously supporting its passage."
