How Free Press Convinced New Jersey to Allocate $2 Million for Rehabilitating Local News
When the state of New Jersey was about to make more than $300 million off the FCC’s spectrum sale auction, it was a moment Free Press had been waiting for. Free Press is an advocacy group focused on getting the public more involved in the future of journalism and information-sharing, which often involves community organizing, research, and lobbying the government. New Jersey is so far the first state to provide public money for local news innovations, aside from traditional funding for PBS and NPR stations. The final amount allocated is between $1 million and $2 million. It will be distributed through grants to people working on projects that support the information needs of underserved New Jerseyans, decided by a Civic Information Consortium composed of 15 board members.

CBS and Viacom Set August Target Date for Merger Talks, After Exploring for More Than a Year
CBS and Viacom continue to bob along with merger talks and are now circling Aug. 8 as an internal deadline to agree to a deal, according to people familiar with the matter. While a transaction could be announced sooner — or later — than that, CBS and Viacom happen to share Aug. 8 as the day both companies report second-quarter earnings. That makes it a natural goal post for a merger that’s been speculated about for more than a year. Both companies have conceptually agreed that a deal to gain scale makes sense. The price of the transaction, which will come in the form of a merger exchange ratio, hasn’t been discussed and won’t be addressed until all strategic and management issues are sorted out.
Meanwhile, negotiations to complete the merger of T-Mobile US and Sprint are dragging on as the parties haggle over Dish Network.
