The News Media Alliance, representing about 2000 newspapers across the United States and Canada, supports the Journalism Competition and Preservation Act, with its president and CEO, David Chavern, stating that the bill is the "solution that will help sustain high-quality journalism and therefore our civic society."[2]
Benjamin Chavis, the president and CEO of the National Newspaper Publishers Association, wrote that the Journalism Competition and Preservation Act "would ultimately weaken our ability to sustain our positions as pillars of the community, including our ability to collaborate with companies across industries to pioneer new programs that will help us tell our community's stories in new and exciting ways, and create a more sustainable future for our industry."[2] Free Press opposes the legislation, stating that the bill "would give broadcasters, publishers and other news producers an 'antitrust exemption.'"[3]
