The crisis in local news poses a severe threat to democracy and the health of communities.
Rebuild Local News believes that in addition to improved business models and increased philanthropy, public policy plays a crucial role.
Rebuild Local News develops public policies to strengthen local news and works on the state and national level to pass effective legislation.
We are the leaders in our field: Our path-breaking set of policy initiatives, which we advocate for alongside partners, has helped advance First Amendment-friendly legislation in California, Connecticut, Illinois, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York and Utah.
Together, U.S. states have established new public policies directing more than $350 million to local news organizations.
We also were involved in the passage of a targeted digital advertising tax in Utah, shaped a “data extraction mitigation fee” in California and have been a leading voice assessing the risks of AI to community news.
Rebuild Local News also runs the Rebuild Local News Coalition, which unites newsrooms, labor unions, and civic organizations committed to revitalizing local journalism.
Collectively, the groups in the Coalition represent over 3,000 newsrooms and thousands of journalists, working together to safeguard the future of local news.
We focus on public policies that are nonpartisan, platform agnostic, future-friendly, and content neutral.
We are seeking a skilled and adaptable policy manager with expertise in AI and tech policy, including understanding of its potential impacts on local news.
This role will engage in policy development, analysis, education, bill writing, and advocacy.
This role reports to the Director of Policy and will work closely with other members of the team to advance these priorities.
