SPOTLIGHT: Tariffs on imported newsprint

The US Department of Commerce recently announced tariffs on
imported newsprint coming into the United States. Printers,
publishers and paper suppliers employ more than 600,000 people in
the United States. Those jobs support millions of additional,
primarily good paying jobs in small businesses across the
country.


Jerry Edwards of the Edwards Group, a family of communications,
printing, radio and web companies, joins the show to talk about
exactly why these tariffs are being implemented and what it means
for the economy and news media.
