REYKJAVIK, Iceland — Hoping to make Iceland a global home for freedom of speech, lawmakers are asking the government this week to implement a journalist’s dream package of legislation — promising a safe haven for reporters who want to dig deep, hit hard and avoid being sued.
Iceland’s parliament today will begin considering the measures, aimed at improving the Nordic nation’s own transparency while also luring Internet-based media and data centers to use it as a base for investigative journalism.
