While Trump's national popular vote margin was just under 1.5%, his margin in news deserts was massive. What does this mean for democracy? Student newsrooms should be a part of the solution.
Very insightful data here. I have created www.civiccapacity.com as a way to inform my friends and neighbors about the decisions local government are making here in my home county.
We did our clinical training in Chicago, where in the 2010's there were significant food deserts in the south and west sides. These were extremely damaging for the people living in those areas, as there could be miles between a family and fresh fruit, vegetables or unprocessed meat. We recognized this as a crisis then. Michele, you highlighting local news deserts I believe is a similar issue. I think it could also be easy to not even be aware of the lack of local news.
Michele - you’re terrific and I’m subscribing. I’m all about Press Forward!
Thanks Don nice to meet you!
