The End of Local News as We Know It

By Chris Horne

Local news is broken, and our communities are suffering because of it.To fix that, we need to rethink the problems around local journalism.

Step one, stop trying to save journalism. Step two, challenge the received wisdom about how we got here and why our problems are really symptoms of bigger problems. We can strengthen journalism and the places where we live by confronting old assumptions about what local news should be doing, who should participate in making the news and how we should fund local news.

In The End of Local News As We Know It, journalist Chris Horne walks readers through the current situation with local journalism, the history of American newspapers, and offers concrete suggestions and resources for revitalizing local news.
