What if we funded local news the way we fund local elections? Call it “News Notes”! On the “Mostly Economics Podcast” with Dean Baker, I make the case that a program that allows individuals to fund local news w/ public $ would revive the media industry and strengthen democracy! youtu.be/pAyw5Xwp0EQ

That would be great! Currently, local news makes Seattle look like a hellhole and that couldn't be further from reality.

Other countries have a national public broadcaster supported by tax dollars. With local news sections. But you guys were like, socialism!!! Free speech!!!
