CBS Morning Show, Local Journalism Sustainability Act
The Local Journalism Sustainability Act (HR 3940) is a proposed bill that may be included in a $3.5 trillion reconciliation package. The legislation offers a payroll tax credit of up to $12,500 per quarter per employee for local news journalists. Critics argue this creates a government-funded media environment where journalists become financially dependent on federal subsidies.
