Overview
This bill requires New Jersey state agencies to dedicate a portion of their advertising budget to eligible local news organizations. Specifically, agencies must allocate at least 30% of their advertising spending to these organizations, with an exception for agencies that demonstrate a need to spend less than 30% in-state, requiring them to spend at least 50% of their in-state advertising with local news outlets. The bill establishes a process for identifying eligible news organizations and requires agencies to report on their advertising spending. It aims to support local journalism by ensuring state government advertising dollars are directed towards local news sources.
