📰 40% of local U.S. newspapers have closed since the start of this century, with a 75% decline in local journalists since 2002. @SyracuseIDJC just launched the Local News Research Hub, a database proving what communities lose without local journalism. https://t.co/yuFbpPJYue

[Newhouse School @NewhouseSU]

The new Local News Research Hub, built by @SyracuseIDJC's Local NExT Lab and @Rebuild_News, gives newsrooms, funders and policymakers searchable access to research on local news' impact and how to strengthen it in communities.

Great thread of research on the importance of local news from Ronan Farrow.

[Ronan Farrow @RonanFarrow]

Research shows that when communities switch from local to national news, it measurably increases partisan voting.

This is part of what's polarizing America. When newspapers close, we only see partisan labels. Split-ticket voting drops nearly 2%
