Local journalism is in crisis. Forty percent of local newspapers have vanished in the past twenty years across this country. The reasons for this are complex. Mostly, it comes down to companies and hedge funds prioritizing profits over communities. But there's good news coming...

The Political Economy of the US Media System: Excavating the Roots of the Present Crisis - Roosevelt Institute Bilal Baydoun, Shahrzad Shams, and Victor Pickard trace the roots of the US media crisis to decades of deregulation and commercial capture, outlining how consolidation, news deserts, and platform dominance threaten democratic infrastructure and sow fertile ground for authoritarian capture of our information channels. Their analysis shows why a reinvisioned, democratic media system must be insulated from both commercial and state pressures.

On #LocalNewsDay, a reminder that strong local journalism is essential for a healthy democracy.

Decades of policies favoring profit have hollowed out newsrooms, closed papers, and left communities underinformed. Rebuilding local newsrooms is critical.

Local news equips us to be more civically engaged and connected to our communities!
