In "What Works in Community News," Ellen Clegg and I examine about a dozen independent local news outlets in nine parts of the country. We hope it will inspire folks who live in news deserts to take their information needs into their own hands. #journalism #localnews

As much as I enjoy my job, the @PioneerPress could really use another local reporter or two. Tell Alden Global Capital we’re thin enough… contract negotiations commence Tuesday. Fair wages and staffing matter! Local news matters! That’s @MaryEDivine agreeing with me! #HedgeFund #localnews

I’ve seen a few posts urging us to support national nonprofit news. Good idea, but we really need to rebuild our communities. If you have an independent local news outlet, please subscribe or donate. #journalism #localnews

"For a couple of weeks after the newpapers closed, I and my fellow reporters kept getting texts and DMs and emails and phone calls from readers who hadn’t yet heard but who had a great story that needed telling or a pressing problem that needed attention." #localnews thetyee.ca/Opinion/2025...

When three Metro Vancouver papers closed we lost our jobs. So we decided to start a news co-op.

I made a feed for the hashtag #LocalNews because I like seeing things that don't necessarily get broad attention. If there's something you consider local news, or an event, you can use the tag to throw it to the feed. It's just little right now. bsky.app/profile/did:...

Keep your eyes open on #LocalNews and the Shitstain EO impacts that are going to hit a LOT closer to home. Perfect example in WA: Bremerton (home of the USS Nimitz & the Naval shipyard) fears losing precious federal $$$$s so they're putting a pause on #DEI initiatives & a DEI-specific headcount.

Great thing about local TV news, it’s not constant politics, you get normal news too ~ very community oriented. 👏They report impact of national news too, like Bird Flu or Trump cuts, but with LOCAL reaction, without making it into an argument. Less chaos? More #LocalNews
