     &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Local Journalism Sustainability Act&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This bill allows individual and business taxpayers tax credits for the support of local newspapers and media. Specifically, individual taxpayers may claim an income tax credit up to $250 for a local newspaper subscription. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The bill also allows local newspaper employers a payroll tax credit for wages paid to an employee for service as a local news journalist and certain small businesses a tax credit for local newspaper and media advertising expenses.&lt;/p&gt;
