Much of the mourning for the late great @washingtonpost has rightly focused on how democracy dies in darkness at the national level, which is hugely important. But the evisceration of Metro coverage is every bit as devastating because there is no comparable news outlet keeping local governments and institutions honest.

Eight of my 20 years at the Post were spent on Metro, which was the heart and soul of the Post under the legendary @dongrahamdc1. The undertakers now running the paper have all but wiped out the metro staff, leaving just 12 reporters, according to reports, to cover a region of 6.5 million people.

We had twice that many journalists in Fairfax alone back in the day. And it mattered. Reporters are the eyes and ears of the community, keeping tabs on people in power. We were there for every supervisors meeting, every school board meeting. We pored through planning commission documents and campaign filings.

When county officials wasted taxpayer money, raised taxes on overstretched homeowners, gave sweetheart zoning deals to developers who filled their election coffers, we were there. When teachers who sexually abused students were quietly transferred to other schools to do it all over again, we were there.

We were there for the more uplifting stories too, the cops who broke a cold case, the educators who turned around a struggling school, the residents who rallied to help neighbors in trouble, the student athletes who won the big game, the entrepreneurs who started something new.

Our friend @SariHorwitz who has won more Pulitzers than I can count, wrote so movingly online about the Post (https://t.co/lxame7tiSF). To recognize how indispensable local coverage is, you need only look at her holy-shit investigations of a broken child welfare system, rampant police shootings and the corporate-fed opioid crisis, stories that opened eyes and led to change.

Democracy is not just what happens at the White House and the Capitol but in our own backyards. The Post has just turned the lights down at home too.

NPR memo: Pope Leo offers thoughts for journalists. The times are “both difficult to navigate and to recount,” and demand that “each one of us” should “never give in to mediocrity.”

For the record, this is how close I was to @SpeakerJohnson when he “misheard” my question for @CitrusTVNews.

[Luke Radel @lukeradel]

In August of 2022, @Brandon4ny22 criticized the CHIPS Act as “corporate welfare.” Two months later, the Micron project was announced. #NY22

Here’s more context from my report tonight on @CitrusTVNews:

[Luke Radel @lukeradel]

ICYMI: Here’s why I asked the question.

Donald Trump told @joerogan last week “that CHIPS deal is so bad.”

[Luke Radel @lukeradel]

BREAKING: I asked @SpeakerJohnson if he’ll try to repeal the CHIPS Act if Trump wins and they have control of Congress.

“I expect that we probably will.”

@RepWilliams responds: “I will remind him night and day how important the CHIPS Act is.” #NY22
