Dear Friend,

On Monday morning, I hope you will join us via livestream for the launch of a new study by Gallup and Knight Foundation, and a timely discussion on the future of local news. 

As news publishers compete with search engines and digital platforms for both attention and advertising revenue, local outlets across the nation are facing a financial crisis. The strain – especially for the local newspaper industry – has hollowed out many newsrooms, leaving some communities without a fundamental democratic institution. 
 
Using new Gallup/Knight research as a starting point, this event will explore the spectrum of policy approaches to these challenges. 

See details below. We hope you will join us.
