An important piece of legislation has been introduced in the United States Senate called the Local Journalism Sustainability Act of 2021, a bill that would help local newspapers reach viability through tax credits. The bill comes five weeks after a similar bill was introduced in the House. U.S. Sens. Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.), Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.), and Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) introduced the Local Journalism Sustainability Act of 2021. This legislation would help financially support local news organizations through tax credits to incentivize hiring more journalists, subscriptions and advertising from local small businesses. When the Fergus Fall Journal asked Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) about her thoughts on the U.S. Senate version of the bill, she stated, “As thousands of media outlets have been forced out of business, too many small towns and rural communities have become ‘news deserts’ without access to local news,” said Klobuchar.
