Local journalists are critical for the survival of democracy and deserve attention and support as billionaires destroy newspapers. Here are a bunch of local journalists, outlets, and news sources, mostly from the US. NOTE: I'm not a journalist, but can't remove myself from my own list, alas.
Accounts who post about Seattle news or political developments, may include some folks who post about statewide politics too. Inclusion in the pack is not an endorsement of views or candidates
This starter pack is a curated list of the 100 women and non-binary people in urbanism on Bluesky who post the most interesting, inspiring and original thoughts on cities. It's a collaboration between Cathy Tuttle (https://bsky.app/profile/cathytuttle.bsky.social) and me.
