One of the better episodes I've listened to about the struggle of local news. It's scary how some communities are depending on student journalism to cover local politics. If this continues, then local democracy will actually die in darkness.

Sometimes people don’t miss something until it’s gone. A very interesting discussion about news media and what is happening. I wonder if podcast could be the vehicle for local news in the future? What do other podcasters and podcast listeners think?

Really interesting look at the history and future of local news. I was particularly surprised by the statistics on the content output between traditional news outlets and newer, nonprofit sites.

@rmmiller364 You’re welcome! I used to work at a small newspaper so it’s near and dear to my heart too. I would also recommend the new season of After the Fact from the Pew Charitable Trusts.
