Bucks County Beacon
The Bucks County Beacon is a standalone news source dedicated to delivering news, insights, and viewpoints from a progressive angle. We focus on stories that are often overlooked by other local media, particularly the rising danger of right-wing extremism impacting our schools, government, and democracy. Over the last ten years, local media in Bucks County has suffered due to corporate job cuts, and the Beacon aims to address this loss of information. We feature contributions from writers and activists, many of whom are local residents of Bucks County or are engaged in reporting and advocacy throughout Pennsylvania for a more progressive tomorrow.
