Short parable on the need for local journalism: My wife and I live in a small town (~25,000 people) in Middlesex County, NJ, where we recently had a referendum on whether or not to increase the fire department budget by about 60% (🧵 continues)

.@resolvephilly's Documenters program pays & trains Philadelphians to attend & take notes at public meetings. Making these meetings accessible is an important part of our democracy.
Be a part of this critical effort, attend the upcoming 1/31 orientation: ow.ly/PIQ150QvA1i.

A nice write up of our new Pennsylvania Broadband Research (PBR) Institute. Through research and critical analysis, we're hoping to shine a bright light on the absurdities and digital inequities of our broadband services in PA and beyond. asc.upenn.edu/news-events/ne… @MIC_Center

Smart analysis by @laurawags, reminding us that local journalism that's overly reliant on private capital--even among our best nonprofit exemplars--isn't immune to structural vulnerabilities & market failure. Requires policy interventions & public subsidy.wapo.st/45rGC4G
