Over one hundred representatives from corporate media companies around the country will be in DC this month, pushing Congress to once again take up the repeatedly-nixed Journalism Competition and Preservation Act (JCPA), a bailout bill for the legacy media industry, and perhaps one of the most-revived bills of all time.
Allies of the legacy media in Congress have tried every trick in the book to get the JCPA passed, including a failed last-ditch attempt to add it to the annual defense spending bill at the end of 2022. Despite the defeats, the media is determined to get its bailout.
