Congressional Democrat have reinserted a measure to include a tax credit for Washington, D.C.-area journalists into the House’s version of President Biden’s $1.75 trillion domestic spending bill.
To be included in any version that would go to Biden for his signature, the measure will also need to gain the support from Senate Democrats and survive any cuts before passage.
The recently cut measure was reportedly added back in after publishers and owners of local newspapers communicated the seriousness of the financial crisis in local news to their congressional representatives.
