BIG NEWS: NY State leaders agree on landmark, bipartisan plan to help counter the collapse of community news – $30 million in employment tax credits for news outlets. First in the nation. Most significant state effort yet.
My rant of the day -- reminds me of old school twitter (or at least of how I once used Twitter).

Getting so close to a real breakthrough. The next few days will determine whether we can save local news in NY

Rebuild Local News strongly endorses the @FCC’s proposal for prioritizing license renewal for TV and radio stations that provide local journalism and other local programming. We also provide additional ideas on how the FCC could help local news. rebuildlocalnews.org/how-the-fcc-co…
"The most ambitious package of local journalism policy," says @AnnaBrugmann @Rebuild_News, about the result of the bipartisan Illinois Local Journalism Task Force. localnewsinitiative.northwestern.edu/posts/2024/02/… by @MarkCaro
Illinois' @SenStadelman has introduced the most sweeping legislation in the nation to help local struggling news outlets. It would require Big Tech to compensate local news orgs, provides tax breaks and creates a new journalism scholarship program. localnewsinitiative.northwestern.edu/posts/2024/02/…
At @LocalMediaAssoc summit in Austin, @jimbrady of @knightfdn tells @localmediarocks that despite recent layoffs, he’s more encouraged about local news now than 5 years ago. And he says “Press Forward” will begin accepting proposals soon.
1/ American local news has its challenges but it is a vibrant, important, diverse & creative tapestry of talent, determination, & commitment to communities & to truth. @lenfestinst & @AspenDigital brought together 80 news organizations…
Urgent words from @businessofnews in her @LocalNewsIni @MedillSchool column: "The actions we collectively take over the next couple of years will determine whether we can revitalize and refurbish our local news ecosystem." localnewsinitiative.northwestern.edu/posts/2024/01/…
Illinois has lost 85% of its newspaper journalists since 2005, the highest percentage in the nation, and 232 newspapers. The @LocalNewsIni @MedillSchool worked with the Illinois Local Journalism Task Force this past year on ways to address this crisis. localnewsinitiative.northwestern.edu/posts/2024/01/…
It was an honor for the @LocalNewsIni @MedillSchool to work with the bipartisan Illinois Local Journalism Task Force and @SenStadelman on ways to help strengthen local news. Illinois will soon join the ranks of those considering legislation. localnewsinitiative.northwestern.edu/posts/2024/01/…
This is fantastic. @JRosenworcelFCC, chair of the @FCC, proposed that in renewing TV broadcast licenses the FCC should give priority to stations that create local news & other local programming (something @Rebuild_News has been advocating) docs.fcc.gov/public/attachm… @JRosenworcel
As the American Journalism Project approaches its 4th birthday, the nonprofit local news sector remains in its "early days," with many years still needed to fill the voids left by failing legacy news organizations. @RickEdmonds @Poynter @JournalismProj poynter.org/commentary/202…
Best of luck with this next phase, Paul. Thanks for all you done to cover media, and especially the issues confronting local journalism and local journalists, for the Post.

@businessofnews @angelanfu And for @michaelbolden, it's PF, to. "While many questions remain about the funding itself, and the equity of distribution, this most certainly is driving momentum in the right direction at a critical time for journalism and freedom of the press in the United States."
About 20 states and cities have either introduced or adopted legislation to help local news, according to a new @LocalNewsIni @MedillSchool report. The legislation includes things like tax credits, vouchers, reporting fellowships and grants. localnewsinitiative.northwestern.edu/posts/2023/12/…
Q: "Tipping Point for Public Support?" asks a great piece by @LauraColarusso @LocalNewsIni. A: getting close! Now recognition that a) biz model changes & philanthropy won't be enough & b) there ARE policy approches that preserve editorial independence. localnewsinitiative.northwestern.edu/posts/2023/12/…
Pretty cool way to end the academic year with an interview from @LocalNewsIni about #broadband and #BEAD. Thank you @businessofnews @SarahStonbely for the opportunity! localnewsinitiative.northwestern.edu/research/state…
