Our View: Urgency to protect, preserve local news never more obvious “Bad information will always circulate on social media, like a virus that will keep mutating and spreading and never go away. Written By: News Tribune Editorial Board | 3:00 pm, Jul. 28, 2021 × Adam Zyglis / Cagle Cartoons Two weeks ago, when Gov. Tim Walz added the News Tribune to his list of local newspapers in Minnesota he was making a point of visiting, he started the conversation with appreciation. “Thank you during COVID for being trusted sources (of) reliable information for your readers,” he said to News Tribune Editorial Board members, gathered with him inside the library at Denfeld High School. “This was unlike anything any of us had ever seen. It became pretty apparent five, six months in that there was skepticism, there was division. I think some of it, legitimately, (was about) the science that we were starting to see and understand.

The collapse of local news organizations imperils our democracy, and here s a once-unthinkable solution to consider: government help

Local news organizations are dying and that is not news. The decline has been rapid, spectacularly so. The tech-bubble recession of 2001 set the collapse in motion. The 2008 recession dealt a near-fatal blow made far worse by the subsequent pandemic. Steven A. Smith is a former editor of the Spokesman-Review. There are other reasons, of course.

The post-2016 political divide led many Americans, especially on the right, to express their distrust by walking away from mainstream news sources. And news organizations, notoriously poor at marketing and customer service, have contributed to their own collapse.

Klobuchar voices support for Local Journalism Sustainability Act

An important piece of legislation has been introduced in the United States Senate called the Local Journalism Sustainability Act of 2021, a bill that would help local newspapers reach viability through tax credits. The bill comes five weeks after a similar bill was introduced in the House. U.S. Sens. Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.), Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.), and Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) introduced the Local Journalism Sustainability Act of 2021. This legislation would help financially support local news organizations through tax credits to incentivize hiring more journalists, subscriptions and advertising from local small businesses. When the Fergus Fall Journal asked Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) about her thoughts on the U.S. Senate version of the bill, she stated, âAs thousands of media outlets have been forced out of business, too many small towns and rural communities have become ânews desertsâ without access to local news,â said Klobuchar.Â
