Local journalism is a longstanding cornerstone of American society. From local events and news to regional, state, and a local lens on national news, it is an important voice and plays a critical role in knitting together communities. It has also faced increasing pressure from online platforms, conglomeration, changing funding patterns, and from political spheres. Sarabeth Berman, CEO of the American Journalism Project, Zach DuFresne, Publisher of The Vail Daily, and Larry Ryckman, Publisher and Co-Founder of The Colorado Sun, will look at local, state and national trends in local journalism, small town newspapers, the role of local press, and what we might anticipate in the future.
