Journalism Competition and Preservation Act |

Statement: Senate Judiciary Committee markup of the Journalism Competition and Preservation Act
Yesterday the Senate Judiciary Committee began markup of the Journalism Competition and Preservation Act (JCPA) (S. 673 and H.R. 1735), a bipartisan bill that would allow local news publishers to come together to collectively negotiate with Google and Facebook for fair compensation for use of their content.
There was broad agreement voiced by members of the Committee that something must be done to solve the imbalance between Big Tech and local news, with healthy debate around how to best address the market imbalance in which the tech platforms create their own, selfishly motivated rules for the online marketplace around speech and compensation to publishers.
Though progress was being made during the markup and the bill sponsors successfully navigated several proposed amendments, debate was held to reconcile an amendment raised.
A recording of yesterday's markup proceedings can be viewed HERE (beginning at the 49:07 mark).

Biden can broaden pro-democracy crusade by championing journalism bill
Saving America’s local free press system should be part of President Joe Biden’s ardent push to save democracy.
That’s needed now, as Congress considers a key bill to stabilize the news industry and level the playing field with dominant tech giants.
I’ve written several columns urging Biden to engage on this issue. But it’s urgent as the journalism and democracy crises worsen, and there’s a fleeting opportunity for an easy, low-cost response.
