"People who regularly follow local news are more likely to participate in politics, including voting in local elections, contacting a local public official, and attending a town hall meeting." Very interesting read about the current #localmedia landscape. www.niemanlab.org/2025/06/amer...

Americans still have faith in local news — but few are willing to pay for it

Without financial support, Americans' trusted local news sources may disappear.

I wrote about the importance of local news for @us.theconversation.com. Most Americans trust and find value in local news but far fewer are willing to actively support it.
