Local news reporting plays a critical role in the health of our communities—and our democracy. What is the impact -- here and nationwide -- of declining news coverage on civil discourse and emerging hyper-partisanship in local non-partisan government? Veteran journalist Rusty Cunningham will discuss changes in local news coverage and the impact on civic engagement, government accountability, erosion of community connections and increased political polarization.
We hope you can attend!
