HEALTHY NEWS HELPS US ALL
Communities with healthy local news have higher voting rates and less government corruption and waste. They have more people who join civic groups and donate to local charities. Local news decreases political polarization and knits together disparate communities; residents become more aware of shared problems, interests and opportunities. Those who follow local news are more likely to know their neighbors.
