Bill overview
This bill, the Journalism Competition and Preservation Act of 2021, provides a temporary four-year safe harbor from antitrust laws for news organizations to collectively negotiate with online platforms like social media companies. It aims to allow news publishers to negotiate fairer terms for distributing their content online, potentially addressing challenges they face in competing with large tech companies. The bill focuses on collective bargaining and specific criteria for what constitutes ‘news content’ and ‘online content distributors.’
