Newspaper industry advocacy and trade organizations have
called for “essential business” status for newspapers and other local news
publishers as states declare stay-at-home orders that shut most businesses.
Numerous states and cities are indeed declaring news operations essential,
including California , Connecticut ,
Miami-Dade County , Massachusetts ,
Nevada and New York
The News
Media Alliance and America's Newspapers are among the groups calling for the
status.
Printing
Industries of America released a statement lamenting that Department of
Homeland Security guidance identified communications as a critical sector that
must remain functioning, but that in the definition of the sector, the
department left out printed communication as an essential function. “This is
unacceptable!” said the statement.
