Club's Podcast focuses on allowing news organizations to negotiate collectively with Facebook and Google

In the latest edition of Update-1, Rep. David Cicilline, D-Rhode Island, sits down with National Press Club member Bill Loveless to discuss legislation he introduced to allow local news outlets to negotiate collectively with large online platforms like Facebook and Google.

From his office on Capitol Hill, Cicilline discusses how the Journalism Competition and Preservation Act would provide a lifeline to publishers facing increasingly difficult economic conditions. The bill is the opening salvo in a larger antitrust investigation of the online market by the House Judiciary Committee.

Club Broadcast/Podcast team co-vice chair Mike Hempen produces Update-1. The podcast can be heard on the Club website or on iTunes, Stitcher and TuneIn.
