U.S. local newspapers are dying at a rate of 2 per week. By 2025, a third of them will be gone. If you’re not convinced that’s a doomsday-level threat to democracy, read this state-by-state list of what local reporters uncovered in 2022. It’s a sample of what we stand to lose.

@apsaker Those are clearly Flat Stanley's glasses, right?

@Ali_Christopher Obvs you're reading too many broadband reports. ;-)

There are thousands of hard working creators at community media stations across the US who want to tell a story and make a difference. One of them was documentarian Coodie Simmons https://t.co/1heKaa4UsD

Some rare good news on the future-of-journalism front. Now let's make sure this new "powerhouse" is democratized and truly serves the local community.

@Ali_Christopher @breeves226 Congratulations, Chris!

[Victor Pickard @VWPickard]

I really enjoyed working on this @NiemanLab piece with @cratebeats, who is a scholar of community media and has been involved with PEG access media for many years. (His dissertation research in this area promises to be foundational to the field). https://t.co/rT3YbjOICA

Great to be featured in the @DailyMonitor Rainbow magazine this week, highlighting the stars in our second season of N*Gen! @ClarkeJuniorSch

@dannagal Yes, but can she replicate the experiment?? ;-)

@JasonT Sounds like a good challenge -- I've got a very long chimney!

Is help on the way? A good summary of what Congress is considering. https://t.co/BFyR5ich9A

Community TV stations like PCTV are stepping up to help families who can't attend HS sports in small towns across the US because of Covid @allliancecm https://t.co/dUe6NUL9JW

The tiny @MalheurNews in a rural Oregon had 4 paid interns last year and will soon recruit for one remaining slot this summer. If unpaid seems your only choice, reach out to me. You could get a great gig - that pays. #Localjournalism
