What the $500 Million fix for Local News Says About Trust and Impact

Subbu Vincent, director, journalism and media ethics, published in Forbes.

"Press Forward, a coalition of foundations and philanthropists, announced, two weeks ago, an initiative that would pool 500 million dollars to address the crisis of disappearing local news and information, and accelerate promising trends to reverse the decline. At this scale of funding, there is a major opportunity for a deeper conversation on two things. Impact, for, of and through local news in America on the quality of our democracy, and trust communities place in journalism."
