Thanks to @speppered.bsky.social at @niemanlab.org for featuring @deepsouthtoday.org in her analysis of the “multi-local” newsroom model “as one of the best hopes of sustainability for delivering more local news to more communities.” www.niemanlab.org/2025/04/mult...

“Multi-local” newsrooms aim to get more news to more people
The model could allow local reporters to be part of bigger, better-resourced teams, while maintaining a level of community trust that’s out of reach for most national counterparts.

A judge has dismissed former Gov. Phil Bryant’s defamation lawsuit against AJP-supported @mississippitoday.org and reporter Anna Wolfe. Her reporting on Mississippi’s $77M welfare scandal sparked national attention — and shows why fact-based, public service journalism matters.
