Thank you USPS OIG for working with News/Media Alliance members & conducting this important audit on Business Reply Mail concerns. Findings indicate processing delays, insufficient data, & incomplete close-out procedures which hinder operational effectiveness & customer satisfaction.

Congressmen Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-MO) & @RepLaTurner (R-KS) were honored with the 2nd annual “Benjamin Franklin Award for Distinguished Leadership in Postal Policy.” The award is given to members of Congress who have led efforts to preserve and protect the U.S. Postal Service. newsmediaalliance.org/congressmen-cl…

“Many of our members depend on the postal system, but the frequency and amount of postal rate increases is unsustainable. If this trend continues, this will mean less news and information ending up in the hands of local residents, which is harmful to our democracy.”

In response to a bipartisan letter, U.S. Postal Service Postmaster General DeJoy halts changes to the mailing network until January 2025. News/Media Alliance govexec.com/management/202… via GovExec

Important editorial from the The New York Times calling on the Senate to pass the PRESS Act, the strongest press freedom bill in modern history. The House has already passed it unanimously. The time is now! nytimes.com/2024/10/14/opi…

The ITC will vote and make a final determination on October 22. We urge the ITC to reject these tariffs on aluminum lithographic printing plates, which, if implemented, will cause serious harm to the news media industry.

Today, the FTC announced their final Rule on Negative Option programs. The Alliance advocated for numerous changes to the proposal in comments, letters, & meetings w/the FTC. The Commission cited the Alliance’s comments 20 times in the Final Rule newsmediaalliance.org/ftc-announces-…

If these tariffs are implemented, newspapers and magazines will go out of business – killing jobs, shutting down small businesses, and eliminating the only local source of news for many communities across America. The Cortland Standard announced on March 13 that it would be closing.

Appreciated speaking with Editor & Publisher (E&P) Magazine Magazine about the advocacy work we are working on for the news media industry. From skyrocketing postal costs to subscription auto renewal legislation, the News/Media Alliance is fighting for the future of publishing.
