‘“There is something about local news,” Edmonds says. “We live in a place and we are connected to that place and our neighbours. … We can talk about the greenbelt behind our houses or someone’s car got broken into.

We become more invested and involved, and we show up to vote at election time.”’
Excerpt from - How to build back election coverage for a better democracy.
