Thank you to the organizations and individuals supporting the Journalism Competition and Preservation Act (JCPA), which would allow news publishers to collectively negotiate with the tech platforms for fair compensation for use of their content. With your support, we hope to get this bill passed and for news publishers to get the compensation they deserve.
Below are supporters of the JCPA, including letters of support from supporting organizations and thought leaders.
Send your letter of support to be included here!
