The Journalism Competition and Preservation Act (JCPA) enables news outlets to collectively negotiate revenue-sharing deals with social media platforms and search engines.

The JCPA is designed to benefit US news outlets because deals apply across the board to all local and national publishers.

News outlets can negotiate with companies individually under the current system. However, one-to-one negotiations only give publishers so much leverage.

If the JCPA passes, it will allow the entire industry to negotiate, giving publishers more leverage over companies like Meta and Google.

Meta isn’t interested in negotiating with publishers because the company believes traffic and exposure are payment enough.
