At a time when America is increas- ingly divided, our reporters are a unifying voice in our communities by providing a non-partisan, trusted source of local news. Studies show that when there are fewer local reporters, it’s harder for neighbors to know each other and for communities to solve their own problems. Voting goes down. Participation at public meetings goes down. The information vacuums are fi lled with misinformation and conspiracy. There’s more govern- ment waste and corruption. Local journalism transcends party lines. We create stronger communities by reporting the facts about what’s happening at city hall, in our schools and at HOW YOU CAN HELP! 1. EMAIL OUR POLITICAL LEADERS Send an email to your representatives in Congress. Let them know how important local news is to you and your community. Ask them to support the Local Journalism Sustainability Act. This act will directly support our abil- ity to hire more local journalists for your community. U.S. Senate U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden: ron_wyden@wyden.senate.gov U.S. Sen. Jeff Merkley: jeff _merkley@merkley.senate.gov local businesses. We share stories of games won, lives lost, and of our neighbors who volunteer to make a diff erence. Community journalists have served this role for more than a century in Oregon and yet, at a time when their skills are needed more than ever, we have fewer of them working. That’s why there is legislation proposed in Congress to give newspapers a tax credit to off set some of the cost of keeping reporters in our communities. U.S. House of Representatives U.S. Rep.
