FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Arlington, VA \u2013 Today, hundreds of local and regional newspapers across the country launched the “Don’t Let Big Tech Cancel Local News”<\/a><\/span> ad campaign in support of the Journalism Competition and Preservation Act (JCPA).<\/p>\n

The JCPA, a bill being considered in Congress, is designed to level the playing field between Big Tech and small and local publishers by allowing them to collectively negotiate for fair compensation for the use of their content. The nationwide campaign comes amid speculation that the JCPA legislative text will be released in the coming days and its supporters are urging Congress \u2013\u00a0specifically the bill\u2019s lead co-sponsors Sens. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) and John Kennedy (R-LA)<\/strong> and Reps. David Cicilline (D-RI) and Ken Buck (R-CO)<\/strong> \u2013\u00a0to initiate a markup of the bill and accelerate its passage in the House of Representatives and Senate.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a critical time for the JCPA. We thank our sponsors for their leadership on this important bill, but the time to act is now,\u201d said News\/Media Alliance President and CEO David Chavern.<\/p>\n

The campaign contains information on how readers can contact their Members of Congress to ask them to move forward on a markup for JCPA, including a QR code links to a page where readers can send emails and a phone number for constituents to call their representatives directly.<\/p>\n

Since the JCPA was introduced last year, the bill has amassed 10 co-sponsors in the Senate and 63 co-sponsors in the House of Representatives. The bill has bipartisan support in Congress, and a recent poll<\/a><\/span> showed that a strong majority of the American public support Congress passing the JCPA (70%). The time is now. Congress must act.<\/p>\n
