Good morning. 

Next week is a big one for advocates of the Journalism Competition and
Preservation Act (JCPA), which would force Google and Facebook to pay US
publishers for the use of news content.

On Thursday, the bill is due to be voted on by a Senate committee. For today’s
newsletter, my colleague Bron Maher has taken a deep dive look into the
legislation and recent amendments that have been made to ease its passage
through Washington. Some in the industry remain sceptical that the JCPA will
pass into law any time soon, but the bill has momentum and is worth taking
seriously.

Elsewhere, we reveal today that two more British tabloids are plotting a major
expansion in the United States. UK editor Charlotte Tobitt writes that the
Mirror and Express, both owned by publishing giant Reach, could together employ
more than 100 journalists in the US.  It’s not difficult to see why they view
America as an opportunity. As our latest US news website traffic ranking
documents, Mail Online and The Sun have firmly established themselves in the
American market. 

Scroll down for more on these stories, plus my guide to this week’s other
must-read stories. 

To our US readers, we wish you an enjoyable Labor Day weekend. See you next
week.

William
