Summary

Over the last 20 years, over 2000 local newspapers have shut down, leading to a 65% drop in the number of journalists and a sharp increase in political polarization. Steven Waldman founded Rebuild Local News, a non-profit coalition of over 3000 local newspapers, to combat this decline and advocate for local journalism. How did the rise of Craigslist kill the local newspaper? What can local papers learn from public libraries? And is it time to completely rethink the role of news in our society?
