Publishers beg Congress to save them from extinction at the hands of Big Tech ...News

Newspaper executives are begging Congress to rescue their business model from predatory tech platforms, urging lawmakers to pass a bill that will allow them to bargain collectively and presumably restore their former glory. Seven major newspaper publishers are lobbying for the Journalism Competition and Preservation Act, which would give the newspaper industry four years of immunity from antitrust laws. That would enable them to bargain collectively with companies like Google and Facebook – which are, ironically, subject to several antitrust probes of their own, due to their outsize presence in the tech industry.
