| Friend,
Journalism is under threat, and our communities are paying the price. The Trump administration is attempting to silence independent reporting, billionaire interests and corporate greed are decimating local-news coverage, and far too many communities lack the information they need to stay safe, organized and connected.
Clearly, our current media system cannot provide us with what we need — which is why Free Press Action and our partners in the Media Power Collaborative recently rolled out a local-news policy agenda.1
We’d love to see you at our webinar next Friday, March 14. We'll talk more about how journalists and civic media are rising to the moment — and share our collective vision on what media our communities need and how to fight for it.
Here are the details: - WHAT: Local News in Times of Crisis: How Civic Media Is Rising to the Moment
- WHEN: Fri., March 14, at 2 p.m. ET
- WHERE: RSVP on Zoom
- WHO: Free Press Action, leading civic-media organizers, community journalists, policy advocates … and you!
- WHY: As our communities face unprecedented threats, the Trump regime and billionaire corporate interests are undermining independent journalism and strong local media. It’s time to build the media system we need.
This is too important to miss. Secure your spot today. For far too long, communities have lacked critical information about what’s happening in their streets, in their schools and in the halls of power. We’re determined to do something about it.
Hope you can make it to next Friday’s live webinar,
Alex and the rest of us at Free Press Action
