Community News Center
Delivering Local News to Your Front Door
About The Community News Center
The dramatic decline of local news outlets across the country has created vast “news deserts” – thousands of communities in the U.S. have few, if any, reliable sources of local news content. The Community News Center is working to fill this void by delivering timely and reliable local news content directly to American households.
Local News Deserts – A Growing Challenge
What is a News Desert?
A “news desert” is a community where residents have significantly diminished access to important local news.
