From the Legislature
As introduced, Bill 26-314, the Local News Funding Act of 2025 would create a system where residents decide which news outlets receive public grants through "news coupons." Each registered voter receives five news coupons through a secure online system that can be allocated to any news outlet registered with a new Community Journalism Board. Each coupon represents a fraction of the total grant funding available. If more residents allocate coupons to a particular outlet, that outlet receives a larger share of the funding.
