A billionaire looking for a way to protect/expand/defend democracy should consider buying one of these newspaper chains. But ideally, we move more towards public/individual models and away from those that empower one person in a given community. — PolitiTweet.org

But Gannett and many other owners of local newspapers seem more committed to profits than in-depth reporting. And this is a huge problem. — PolitiTweet.org

Gannett owns the most local papers of any chain and thereby is the main source of news in many communities. https://t.co/PVLoAWIjKj — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to @VWPickard and @mark_histed in particular for helping me on this piece. They are true experts on this issue. They have a vision for local news that is well beyond just recreating the old big-city newspapers of the past. — PolitiTweet.org

In my view, ideally strong local news should be 1. in every community 2. in many formats 3. free 4. nonprofit 5. a mix of content with no point of view and some with a clear, transparent point of view. — PolitiTweet.org

Robust local news is vital to democracy and to communities. I laid out a vision for what a really strong local media infrastructure should look like. https://t.co/IStnhA0YHQ — PolitiTweet.org
