A bill that would allow news outlets to bargain with tech platforms over the distribution of their content was reintroduced in both chambers by a bipartisan group of lawmakers Wednesday.
The Journalism Competition and Preservation Act is being touted as a way to “save local news” and comes as lawmakers push forward with broader efforts to rein in the market power of the top tech companies.
It follows the passage of an Australian law late last month that forces tech giants to pay publishers for content and subjects the tech companies to mandatory price arbitration if a deal cannot be reached.

Ted Cruz is right back where he started in the Senate minority and plotting a presidential bid, although now the runner-up for the 2016 Republican nomination is the grizzled veteran looking over his shoulder at the young, brash upstarts he used to be.
Cruz arrived on Capitol Hill from Texas in 2013, an impatient Tea Party Republican who openly quarreled with GOP leadership and ignored Senate etiquette as he prepared to run for president. Cruz still has a rebellious streak. But back in the minority after Democrats flipped the Senate and looking ahead to 2024, Cruz has matured. He is more deliberate and ideologically doctrinaire especially compared to populist Republican senators who take their cues from former President Donald Trump.
