Local news is facing a crisis with newspapers disappearing at a rapid rate, leaving many areas without reliable journalism. Cambridge City Council is considering a controversial plan to allocate taxpayer money to support local news operations via an independent fund.
The proposal involves allocating $100,000 annually to a local news fund overseen by a third party, aiming to sustain local journalism. The initiative is seen as essential in the current environment where traditional newspapers are diminishing rapidly.
