Hi,

You have an appreciation for the importance of local media and the role it plays in helping form an informed and engaged community.  You are also likely aware that the media is in a state of sustained decline. Why does this matter?  According to a Pew Research Center study, “the roughly one-in-five U.S. adults (19%) who feel highly attached to their communities demonstrate much stronger ties to local news than those who do not feel attached — revealing a link between personal connection to the area and a desire to stay more informed about current issues and events.”

There is a growing understanding of the impact of media decline on communities across the county. Read some perspectives from leading media think tanks.  Thanks for your support towards strengthening local media.  You are part of the solution. 

Best Regards,

Brian and Paul
