Florida Lawmakers Move to Block State Use of Media Rating Firms

Florida lawmakers once again approved a provision in their budget to prohibit state agencies from contracting with advertising and marketing firms that track media outlets using rating systems. Gov. Ron DeSantis is expected to sign the budget into law this month.  

For the second year in a row, the legislature opted to include the language in the state budget to combat the use of media blacklists, which often target conservative news outlets. Critics say groups like NewsGuard, Ad Fontes, and the Global Disinformation Index use ratings systems that unfairly target certain viewpoints.
