"The FCC wants to destroy Net Neutrality and give big cable companies control over what we see and do online," activist groups Demand Progress, Fight for the Future and Free Press said in an announcement today. "If they get their way, they’ll allow widespread throttling, blocking, censorship and extra fees. On July 12th, the Internet will come together to stop them."

Companies such as Amazon, Kickstarter, Vimeo, reddit, Mozilla, and Etsy are participating in an "internet-wide day of action to save Net Neutrality" on July 12. Fight for the Future, Free Press Action Fund and Demand Progress are organizing companies to make sure those rules stick around.

There’s something that Americans of varied political affiliations — Democrats, Republicans and Independents — largely agree on: the need to protect Net Neutrality.

Several internet-activist groups and major tech companies will join together to protest the Federal Communications Commission’s attempt to dismantle Net Neutrality with a day of protest next month.

Free Press is accusing the Federal Communications Commission of trying to stifle free speech in the debate over Net Neutrality regulations.

New Jersey is getting ready to receive a one-time infusion of $332 million in revenue thanks to a nationwide auction of broadcast airwaves that was held earlier this year.

A coalition of press freedom organizations has asked Congress to investigate the alleged assault of a <em>Guardian</em> reporter by newly elected Republican congressman Greg Gianforte on the eve of the state’s special election.

Four groups representing journalists called on Congress to investigate the alleged assault of a reporter by Rep.-elect Greg Gianforte (R-Mont.) and also will ask President Trump to personally denounce violence that might be inspired by his anti-press rhetoric.

Roughly two dozen journalists, academics, librarians, public-relations professionals and activists attended the Free Press Action Fund gathering, where they broke into two groups and brainstormed how to improve local news in the Garden State.

A bill introduced Thursday by state legislative leaders would create a fund for supporting and fostering local journalism.
