ARLINGTON, Va., March 31, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The News/Media Alliance applauds Senate Antitrust Chairwoman Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) and Senator John N. Kennedy (R-LA) for today reintroducing the "Journalism Competition and Preservation Act" (JCPA). The bill would provide digital journalism providers the ability to collectively negotiate with Facebook and Google for fair compensation for the use of their valuable content. Currently, publishers do not have the ability to negotiate these deals on their own, as the dominant tech platforms capture the majority of U.S. digital ad revenue, leaving publishers with little to reinvest in the production of high-quality journalism. This follows in the wake of other countries' successful compensation systems for publishers, with Australia's Media Bargaining Code and European legislation leading the way and Canada and the UK expected to follow.

Key Points: 
  • The News/Media Alliance applauds Senate Antitrust Chairwoman Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) and Senator John N. Kennedy (R-LA) for today reintroducing the "Journalism Competition and Preservation Act" (JCPA).
  • The bill would provide digital journalism providers the ability to collectively negotiate with Facebook and Google for fair compensation for the use of their valuable content.

ARLINGTON, Va., March 20, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The News/Media Alliance applauds California State Assemblymember Buffy Wicks (D-Oakland) for today introducing the California Journalism Preservation Act (CJPA, AB 886), which would require Big Tech platforms such as Facebook and Google to pay news publishers a "journalism usage fee" to use local news content. Currently, creators of quality journalism are not adequately compensated for the use of their content that takes a tremendous investment to produce, and therefore, cannot reinvest enough in journalists and newsrooms.

  • "These dominant digital ad companies are enriching their own platforms with local news content without adequately compensating the originators," Wicks said.
  • "It's time they start paying market value for the journalism they are aggregating at no cost from local media."
