This latest law gives the same treatment to digital media, which it didn’t define but can include a range of content from entertainment websites and digital publishing to video games. Leading digital businesses in the state include the NBC Universal Digital Media Campus in Englewood Cliffs (where CNBC is headquartered) and Audible, owned by Amazon, which is based in Newark.
