The 2025 News Media Alliance Support Journalism Awards Dinner & Fly-In took place on October 7th and 8th. More than 100 participants representing news, magazine and digital-only publishers, representing 34 states, met with Members of Congress and their staff on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. to advocate for the importance of quality journalistic and creative content, and reinforce the need for Congressional action to support the news media industry.
From the feedback received so far, our champions on Capitol Hill continue to support our industry and want to know how to demonstrate that in Congress. In the coming months, we will be announcing a clear call to action and legislative initiatives we will lead and support. Stay tuned!

During the Support Journalism Awards & Chairman’s Dinner, we honored Senator Marsha Blackburn and Senator Maria Cantwell. Please see our press release recognizing these two distinguished leaders in the Senate.
The Alliance’s Fly-In ad campaign has so far been a tremendous success, with 500+ publications running our ads, which called for Congress to act to protect our content from misuse by Big Tech, in advance of this week’s events. Members can still run the ads throughout the month of October, found here.
We will continue building on these conversations in the year ahead and look forward to having our members with us again at next year’s Support Journalism Awards Dinner & Fly-In.
