Disappearing Local News In South County - And In the Rest of America

ID : 1502   
« back to classes page
CourseGraphic America's local newspapers are in sharp decline, leading to reduced civic engagement, weakened social cohesion, increased misinformation, and diminished governmental accountability. As digital disruption slashed circulation and ad revenue, staff cuts deepened, many papers closed, and others reduced their content and delivery. While digital subscriptions grew, online ads generate far less revenue than print.

Local radio news is virtually absent, and TV news prioritizes sensationalism with brief, superficial coverage. Social media fills the gap with unverified and often unreliable content, eroding trust.
