What a Journalism-Recovery Package Should Look Like

Free Press Action has released a comprehensive series of recommended actions Congress should take to save local journalism and put tens of thousands of reporters back to work during and after the coronavirus pandemic.

The proposal, What a Journalism-Recovery Package Should Look Like During the COVID-19 Crisis, includes a mix of direct and indirect subsidies to journalists, as well as increases in federal support for public-media institutions that would protect a significant number of local reporting jobs.
