YouTube Description
as posted by the channelI uncovered how the Utah Legislature secretly changed their media credential rules right after I launched my independent news outlet. Through public records requests, I found proof they altered their policy specifically to keep independent journalists out.
Before November: "Bloggers representing legitimate independent news organizations may become credentialed."
After November: "Blogs, independent or freelance media do not qualify."
What changed? I started Utah Political Watch in September, and suddenly, they don't want independent journalists asking questions at the Capitol.
This is a story about press freedom, transparency, and holding power accountable. Watch as I explain how our state legislature is working to limit media access and control who gets to cover them.
