Growth in public funding for news and information at the state and local levels
Briefly

By now the crisis-for-local-news narrative is familiar.Everyone paying attention knows that the advertising-supported business model only barely pays the bills (e.g.Pickard, 2022), while the platforms (primarily Google and Facebook) get rich ( Bell, 2021).We are aware of the problem of mis/disinformation seeping down to the local level, sometimes in the form of pink slime outlets ( Bengani, 2019).
