Gary Lee's journey from a 12-year-old inspired by The Oklahoma Eagle to a managing editor highlights the profound impact of local journalism. The Eagle, rooted in Tulsa's history and pivotal during the 100th anniversary of the Tulsa Race Massacre, is undergoing a transformation into a nonprofit entity. The Tulsa Local News Initiative aims to bolster journalism in Tulsa with $14 million in funding, establishing a new digital newsroom and a Documenters Network affiliate that promotes community involvement in local governance reporting.
"As the first newspaper that I read from cover to cover and was loyal to, it is The Oklahoma Eagle that initially made me want to become a journalist."
"The Tulsa Local News Initiative is a sweeping full-court press for local journalism in the city, backed by $14 million in funding, including investment from AJP."
