A huge thank you to John Mutz for your leadership to protect and strengthen local news.
That leadership is desperately needed.
With few exceptions, local newspapers are losing customers by the droves in large, medium, and small communities. We NEED independent, investigative reporting of local governmental news. The politicians on all sides will always have their own partisan views and news to share. The media is our neutral 3rd party reporter of what government is doing, both visibly and behind the scenes. That doesn’t mean the media are perfect, but we need their constant eyes and ears and investigative resourcefulness to keep government honest and the rest of us informed enough to make sound judgments on election day and to know how to make government serve us better.
Many of us are increasingly concerned about the lack of local and state news, but thankfully, John Mutz is actually doing something about it. We are all in his debt.
Thank you for your generous contribution to journalism and for caring about the future of our democracy John Mutz! Agreed accurate reporting of the news is crucial for a democracy so that citizens can make informed choices. Problem is people aren’t reading the meager sources that exist. Instead they’re going on social media and listening to the shock jocks on Fox who have no concern about vetting sources or providing accurate info. How do you keep journalism alive when so few are reading it?
