On October 7, more than 150 members of the News/Media Alliance, allied advocates, and friends of the industry gathered at the Washington Capitol Hill Marriott for the Alliance’s Support Journalism Awards Dinner. At this dinner, Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) and Senator Maria Cantwell (D-WA) were honored for their willingness to stand up as champions of journalism and local news.
The next day, October 8, 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.
