In North Dakota, coal gets the credit for creating the long-enjoyed security of knowing that the lights will come on whenever we flip the switch. It has become so reliable that we don’t even think about it any more. We just take for granted that the furnace will keep us warm through the hostile winter months, that the refrigerator will preserve our leftovers until tomorrow, and that all our electronic devices will keep us connected to our friends and family around the world. Coal is our present, and it definitely is our past. Is it our future? On this question, the jury is hung.

Legislation is crucial to the future of local journalism in North Dakota

Here is how I often do it: I’m scrolling on Facebook, and I see a tidbit of news. Sometimes it’s a link to a trusted news site, sometimes it’s not a trusted news site. Sometimes it’s a meme, or a photo of something that looks like a headline. Before I share anything, I need to know it’s true. So I google it. What I’m looking for in my Google search is a news source that I trust. And that’s almost always a newspaper. Google and Facebook rely on newspapers and news media in general. They have become the great middle men in the way that we consume news, from the hyper local fire on your rural block to the back and forth of national discord. The trouble is, they’ve been syphoning off the advertising revenue that supports the local news they rely on. The snake eats its tail.
