On Monday @1a is going to be talking about the decline of local news across the country and what it means for our democracy. We'd love to hear what you think!
How important is local news to you?
Email me a voice memo: [email protected] or call us at 855-236-1212.
I’m heartbroken for my colleagues and the audience that relies on our local news coverage. This steady loss of local coverage is devastating for communities and our democracy.
If you believe in the power of local journalism to hold the government accountable, to bring levity to your day, or to tell you something new about the region you love, please consider emailing [email protected] to save DCist. We rely on readers and listeners like you.
Hi. I’m one of the @DCist@wamu885 reporters laid off. I’m deeply saddened to no longer cover the immigrant communities who make D.C. & our region so special. I’m beyond proud of the reporting I’ve done on air and our website since starting this beat from scratch 2 years ago ❤️
This morning, @wamu885 management informed us they are laying off 15 vital people from our organization. These individuals are the lifeblood of our journalism. Our hearts are broken. We can’t believe we are losing our colleagues and friends.
