SALEM, Ore. (AP) — Oregon college and high school journalists will be protected from administrative censorship under a bill that Gov. Ted Kulongoski signed on Friday.

The law is the country’s first in more than a decade to protect high school journalists, and the first ever to cover both high school and college journalists under one statute.
