This is a must-read article by @speppered.bsky.social about new research on attitudes about local media access. Note the interesting information about what sources people trust and where they get their local news.

Don’t dwell on “democracy,” and other new findings about how to market local news

So blessed to know you, friend!
Like she did for others, @joyannreid.bsky.social elevated me. She was the first cable host to have me on as a subject matter expert. She’d reach out personally when news broke that’s in my wheelhouse, always thinking of ways to include me. She helped me find my voice, my lane.
