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.
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.
