NEW FROM THE CROTON CHRONICLE--MICHAEL BALTER--TODAY IS WORLD PRESS FREEDOM DAY---IN CROTON, THAT MEANS SUPPORTING LOCAL JOURNALISM IN ALL ITS FORMS

Note: This post is free to all readers. But a free press needs your support, today.

In 1993, the United Nations General Assembly designated May 3 as World Press Freedom Day. This year, the main theme is journalism in the face of the environmental crisis, and as usual, UNESCO is taking the lead in making sure that the day is widely noted.

But for us here in the village of Croton, press freedom may have a different meaning: The importance of the survival of local journalism. Even in big cities, media outlets are going under, severely cutting their staffs, or being taken over by equity and hedge funds managed by investors with little interest in serving the public. Outside of major metropolitan areas, many smaller communities are fast becoming “news deserts,” increasingly bereft of any local media, and/or deprived of local journalists able to cover what is happening in their own communities.  MORE AT Today is World Press Freedom Day. In Croton, that means supporting local journalism in all its forms. (substack.com)
