Summary
Local journalism’s survival hinges on proving its impact—especially as newsrooms shrink and communities suffer from disengagement, waste, and division. At a recent summit, practitioners shared creative solutions, including the “Good Citizen Challenge,” where kids earn stars for civic activities like visiting libraries or speaking with journalists. Since 2018, 1,000 kids have participated, sparking real change: one learned French, another raised $200 for a mural, and a ten-year-old toured a TV station. These stories show how local media can ignite civic life—even in the youngest generations—making the case for its vital, measurable role in healthy communities.
