Community newspapers are in trouble. Since 2005, more than a quarter of U.S. newspapers have vanished. They have been disappearing at the rate of nine per month nationally or about two per week. There are more than 200 counties, home to 70 million people, with no local newspaper or news source, according to a State of Local News report by the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University in 2023. kAm|@C6 E92? 2 BF2CE6C @7 ~C68@?’D D>2==\E@H? ?6HDA2A6CD 92G6 4=@D65 :?
