How to Follow News/Media Alliance Updates and Newsletters
Updated
To keep up with the News/Media Alliance, use two entry points on newsmediaalliance.org: the Subscribe to Our Newsletters page for email delivery, and the Alliance Updates section on the homepage for recent advocacy news, statements, and event recaps. Both are linked directly from the site's main navigation areas, so you can start with either depending on whether you want updates pushed to you or prefer to check the site yourself.
Subscribe to the Newsletters
The site links a dedicated subscription page ("Subscribe to Our Newsletters") from its navigation. This is the direct route to receiving Alliance communications by email.
Steps:
- Go to newsmediaalliance.org.
- Follow the "Subscribe to Our Newsletters" link (also listed under the site's newsletter section).
- Complete the sign-up form on that page with your email address and any requested details.
- Confirm your subscription if you receive a verification email.
Expected result: You begin receiving Alliance newsletters, which cover advocacy work, industry statements, and event announcements.
Common snag: The site does not publish a public price or membership requirement for newsletter sign-up in the available material. Treat access terms as unconfirmed until you see them on the subscription page itself.
Read Alliance Updates Without Subscribing
The homepage's ALLIANCE UPDATES feed is a running log of the organization's advocacy activity. It is the fastest way to see what the Alliance is doing right now, and it requires no sign-up.
Recent items in the feed show the range of content you can expect:
| Date | Item | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Oct 22, 2026 | Letter to Meta demanding withdrawal of new terms of use | Advocacy action against platform terms |
| Oct 22, 2026 | 2026 Support Journalism Awards Dinner and Fly-In highlights | Event recap (300+ attendees in Washington, D.C.) |
| Oct 20, 2026 | International media organizations back Australian creatives on copyright | Coalition letter to Australian politicians |
| Oct 16, 2026 | Maryland governor's executive order on ad procurement | State-level policy directing spending to local news |
| Oct 16, 2026 | Statement on Meta commercial terms | Organizational statement |
| Oct 15, 2026 | Free Speech Week, October 19–26, 2026 | Awareness event |
| Oct 13, 2026 | Comments to UK CMA on User Choice conduct requirement | Regulatory filing |
Each item links to a fuller "Read More" page. Checking this feed periodically gives you the same core advocacy news the newsletters summarize.
Track Events and Webinars
The site maintains an EVENTS area and an Upcoming Event listing. One recurring item is the AI Vendor Showcase – Educational Webinar Series, which features presentations from companies in the artificial intelligence space. Event posts also include recaps, such as the Support Journalism Fly-In, so the section works both as a calendar and an archive.
To use it: scan the EVENTS section for upcoming listings, and open individual posts for dates, format, and registration details where provided.
Which Route Fits Your Goal
- You want regular digests and announcements delivered to you: use the newsletter subscription page.
- You want to monitor advocacy positions and filings as they happen: check Alliance Updates directly.
- You want to attend or review programming: start with the Events section and the webinar series listing.
The organization describes itself as representing over 2,200 media brands, and its updates reflect that advocacy focus—platform terms, copyright, and government advertising policy dominate the feed. If your interest is industry policy rather than general media news, the Updates feed is the more substantive of the two channels.
