Senators renew push to give news publishers more negotiating power against Big Tech

Sen. Amy Klobuchar, a Minnesota Democrat who leads the Senate’s antitrust panel, has revived the Journalism Competition and Preservation Act with support from six Democrats and seven Republicans in the upper chamber.
