This is the time for community newspapers to shine!
Are we, the media responsible for the fact there is even a “mask debate”? Elevating the profile of groups like QAnon so much that even when we write about “cannibalistic child sex-trafficking rings” it somehow seems “normal” or “everyday” for those phrases to be on page one? What planet are we on here folks? Just because someone posts something on Facebook doesn’t mean the media has to report it. Just because someone makes an outrageous comment, does not make it “news”.

Promote the importance of local journalism to your readership
If people did not have our members’ articles to read, they certainly would not be getting any of the information about the Householder scandal from the national press. It is just one very prominent example of why Ohio needs its local newspapers to not just survive but to thrive.

Attacks on journalists threaten the media's ability to keep all of us informed
To all of our members who are out there covering protests – be careful out there. Never before did I worry that harm would come to one of our journalists at the hands of police but I can’t say that anymore.
