LIVELife in the Heart Land - Community Journalism
Today, many rural communities no longer have any local news coverage reported by people they know and trust. 20% of community newspapers have gone out of business since 2005. When local news reporting dries up, it has a ripple effect on other aspects of civic engagement, such as voter registration. In this episode we visit small local newspapers that have managed to survive.
