Perspective: In poorer, less-wired parts of the U.S., it’s harder to find credible news about your local community. That has dire implications for democracy.
Local newspapers are hardly the only news sources that can do the job, but they are the ones that have traditionally filled that role. And they are disappearing.
Already, some 2,500 dailies and weeklies have shuttered since 2005; there are fewer than 6,500 left. Every week, two more disappear. And althougharound the nation, most communities that lost a local newspaper will not get a print or digital replacement. The neediest areas — those that are more remote, poorer and less wired — are the ones that get hurt the worst. Most of the new investment and innovation pouring into the media sector, as valuable and needed as it is, doesn’t reach these regions.
