In the coming weeks, a group of bipartisan senators will advance a long-overdue reform that is designed to restore fairness to America’s most vital — yet endangered — industries: news, publishing and journalism.

Co-sponsored by Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minnesota, and Sen. John Kennedy, R-Louisiana, the legislation — The Journalism Competition and Preservation Act (JCPA) — creates a “safe harbor” for news publishers to negotiate fair terms for use of their content by Big Tech companies on online platforms including Facebook News, Google News and social media generally.
