What is your opinion on this proposed Tennessee law, that would require media outlets to report the outcomes of court cases, that they had previously reported on?

For example, a newspaper reports that some guy has been arrested for murder.
They would then be forced by the state, to later report on the outcome of the case, whether the accuses has been convicted or acquitted.

Clearly it is compelled speech and unconstitutional on its face, but I do not think that the concept behind it is unreasonable.
