As expected, neither bill aimed at helping local journalism were included in the omnibus spending-and-policy bill that Congress must pass by the end of the year and hopes to pass by Friday.
The Consolidated Appropriations Act lacks the proposed Local Journalism Sustainability Act, which would have established a tax credit for newsroom salaries, or the Journalism Competition and Preservation Act, which would have created a temporary anti-trust exemption for news publishers to negotiate with Google, Facebook and other tech platforms for compensation for use of content.
Dean Ridings, CEO of America's Newspapers, which lobbied with the News/Media Alliance for both bills — told Editor & Publisher, "This is certainly disappointing for us all! Either bill would have been very significant for our members and to the industry. We will need a different strategy for the 118th Congress," when Republicans will control the House.
Axios offers its "Best corrections of 2022:"
Jan. 11, New York Times: "The clue for 47 Across in the Monday puzzle may have implied incorrectly that coal is a viable source of clean energy. While it is possible to capture and sequester some of the greenhouse-gas emissions and other pollutants from coal-fired power plants, the technology has never been used on a large scale because of its high cost."
Jan. 22, Deadspin: "We learned after the publication of this article that 49ers OC Mike McDaniel, whom we describe as a 'white guy,' is in fact biracial. The article’s original text remains below. We regret the error."
Oct. 23, Washington Post: "The crossword in the Oct. 23 Washington Post Magazine included an incorrect clue for 95 across ('Fictional graduate of Springfield High School during the 1970s'). The answer, HOMER, refers to Homer Simpson, who didn't graduate from high school in the 1970s because, during that time, he didn't pass Remedial Science 1A, as seen in a Season 4 episode of 'The Simpsons.'"
Oct. 25, NYT: "An earlier version of a photo caption with this article misidentified the performer shown with James Corden in a 'Carpool Karaoke' segment. She is Nicki Minaj, not Cardi B."
