Local news is under assault. Nearly one in five newspapers has closed over the past decade. Tens of thousands of journalists have lost their jobs. Tech platforms take in billions from digital ads, while newspapers struggle to find a sustainable business model. Hedge fund and private equity owners have extracted profits by slashing costs.

Against this backdrop, the very basis of our democracy—an informed, engaged citizenry—seems to be under threat. Hear from news leaders on the frontlines of the fight to save local news. What role does it play in our communities? In our democracy? And what can we do to staunch these losses?
