This is what’s scary
With the challenges we face as a
neighborhood, and the heated partisan rhetoric about which set of “information”
to consider, there’s by no means been a extra pressing want for impartial, clear and vigilant native reporting.
And sadly, chain media shops run by corporations headquartered hundreds
of miles away have demonstrated that they are not going to take a position extra
in our city. They’re simply going to proceed to chop.
You could not know that there are tons of of journalists who’re now not reporting, excellent right here in Tucson,
in comparison with simply greater than a decade in the past. There are solely about half as
many newspaper journalists on this nation than a decade in the past. Layoffs
and shutdowns at chain newspapers and TV stations imply there are numerous
fewer watchdogs searching for us than a decade in the past. Throughout the
nation, there are tens of hundreds of reporters who’ve been laid off —
many simply this previous 12 months alone. Whilst our neighborhood is rising, our press
is shrinking dramatically.
That is why it is much more vital to have journalism right here that is invested within the success and way forward for this neighborhood.
I
know an knowledgeable neighborhood is vital to you, and that you simply perceive
the implications when watchdogs lose their tooth and are muzzled. We
cannot make clever selections as a neighborhood with out having strong, related
data. That requires a wholesome press — and that requires readers
who acknowledge the worth we ship in making everybody on this city a
little bit smarter.
