September 10-11, 2024 | Washington, D.C.
Make your voice heard! Join your peers in Washington, D.C. from September 10-11 for the Support Journalism Fly-in where you will have the opportunity to meet with Members of Congress and their staff to reinforce the need for legislation that would compensate news publishers for the use of our valuable content and discuss AI’s impact on journalism and free press.
We’ll also hold specialty meetings focused on pressing topics affecting the industry including privacy, postal and tax policy. If you would like to participate in these meetings instead, you can select your area of inclusion during registration.
This event is invitation-only. If you have not received an invitation and are interested in attending, please contact Judy Gawczynski at judy@newsmediaalliance.org.
How this works:
The Alliance will:
- Schedule the meetings with Members of Congress and their staff
- Hold an orientation and prepare you for what to expect
- Provide you with talking points
- Provide you with an app where you’ll easily be able to access your meeting schedule, talking points, and other important details. You will receive details on how to access the app closer to event.
Please note that all meetings and the Support Journalism Awards & Chairman’s Dinner are off the record.
