Democracy depends on journalism. The @localnewsini.bsky.social is out with its annual State of Local News report and the # of news deserts is WAY up (+26). There are now 238 counties in the United States with no news outlets and 1,478 counties with only one. www.datawrapper.de/_/nPvAV/

It can be difficult to obtain an accurate count of newpapers owned by the two largest chains, so it's good to have these numbers via @localnewsini.bsky.social: USA Today Co. (Gannett) owns 282 papers, of which 211 are dailies; and Alden Global Capital owns 165, and 72 of those are dailies.
