Today is Local News Day! 📰
JT is proud to celebrate trusted local journalism, which keeps our communities informed, connected, and accountable. From covering the stories that shape our neighborhoods to holding leaders accountable, local news plays a vital role in everyday life.
Local News Day is a national day of action focused on reconnecting communities with reliable local news sources. Its mission is to strengthen the relationship between people and their local outlets, empower newsrooms to grow, and build a movement that sustains local journalism for generations.
Led by a coalition of journalists, nonprofit leaders, and media innovators including Montana Free Press, American Journalism Project, and Press Forward, this effort highlights the importance of protecting and uplifting trusted local information across the country.
