Saving Local News

from First Five · host First Amendment Center of the Freedom Forum Institute

Rep. Mark DeSaulnier of California discusses the reason for and expected benefits of his "Saving Local News Act of 2019" (H.R. 3126). If it becomes law, the bill would make it easier for local news organizations to gain non-profit tax status and better deal with the financial challenges many face – as many local news providers around the nation cut back on news staff or simply cease operations.
