What is the News/Media Alliance PAC?

The News/Media Alliance Political Action Committee (News/Media Alliance PAC) is a separate segregated fund of the News/Media Alliance registered with  the Federal Election Commission. The News/Media Alliance PAC was created to help the Alliance better represent the news media business and newsgathering  interests on Capitol Hill.

What is the purpose of the News/Media Alliance PAC?

The purpose of the PAC is to:

  • Provide campaign contributions to federal candidates for elective office who understand the importance of the issues that matter to high-quality news media organizations;
  • Provide News/Media Alliance and our member companies with a greater ability to support elected officials;
  • Inform and update PAC members about key legislative and regulatory issues that affect the news media industry and News/Media Alliance membership.

The News/Media Alliance PAC is an effective way to become more politically active and support candidates who understand the legislative priorities that will impact the entire industry.
