Local News Is 

TOO VITAL TO VANISH

Community newspapers are key to thriving societies, economies, and democracies.

Over 1,300 communities across the US no longer have local news coverage. One in five Americans are at risk of losing their local newspaper, and with it, the institution that binds them to their neighbors and reports on the people, places, and issues closest to their lives. Despite innovation in digital media, neither global platforms nor nascent start-ups are meeting these needs.
