	"description": "Mega-Platforms profit off local news while damaging Oregon public service journalism. This is why we need your support for SB 686: The Oregon Journalism Protection Act in our public hearing on Wednesday, April 9th at 1pm. Click the link to send emails to Oregon Senators and then submit testimony to the committee through the link on the next page! Protect Oregon Jobs. Empower Local Communities. Demand Fair Compensation from Big Tech. Mega-Platforms Profit From Local News Mega digital platforms like Google and Meta are acting like a “plagiarism machine” that profits from news content without fairly compensating newsrooms. Other jurisdictions have developed anti-trust legislation to address this problem. Smaller platforms like Apple News and Perplexity have already made fair deals with news content providers - showing that profitability under a shared revenue model is profitable – even for smaller platforms. Mega platforms should do the same and do right by Oregon’s news organizations. When Newsrooms Close, Oregonians Lose Over the past 18 years, 27% of the state&#x27;s newspapers have closed, leaving many communities with limited or no access to reliable local news. Closures and layoffs in newsrooms harm Oregonians, cost jobs in journalism, and harm our civic life. The Oregon Journalism Protection Act (SB 686) SB 686 requires large platforms to fairly compensate Oregon news publishers for content that supports platform traffic, audience, and profits. Inspired by successful models in Canada, Australia, New Jersey, and California, and similar efforts underway in 16 states and cities like New York and Chicago, this bill rebalances the market and reinvests in Oregon’s local journalism. Sponsored by: Senators Khanh Pham, Sarah Gelser-Blouin, James Manning, Jeff Golden, WLnsvey Campos, Representatives Jules Walters, Ben Bowman, David Gomberg, Farrah Chaichi, Mark Gamba",
