This report is the fourth on the state of local news produced by
the Hussman School of Journalism and Media at the University of
North Carolina at Chapel Hill. It measures what has been lost,
while also assessing what must be done if we are to nurture and
revive a vibrant news landscape in the third decade of the 21st
century. The first section of this report, "The News Landscape in
2020: Transformed and Diminished," examines the loss of local news,
from the end of 2004--when newspaper advertising, circulation and
employment were at, or near, peak levels--to the end of 2019,
providing a time-lapsed snapshot of the news landscape before the
coronavirus seized control of the economy. It assesses not only the
current state of local newspapers, but also that of local digital
sites, ethnic news organizations and public broadcasting outlets.
The second section, "The News Landscape of the Future: Transformed
... and Renewed?" establishes the need for a reimagining of
journalistic, business, technological and policy solutions.
Extensive research has established that the loss of local news has
significant political, social and economic implications for our
democracy and our society. Yet, according to the Pew Research
Center, almost three-quarters of the general public remains unaware
of the dire economic situation confronting local news
organizations. By documenting the transformation of the local news
landscape over the past 15 years, and exploring the challenges and
potential solutions, we hope this report will raise awareness of
the role that all of us can play in supporting the revival of local
news. Accompanying this report, is an updated website,
usnewsdeserts.com, with more than 350 interactive maps--allows
readers to drill down to the county level to understand the state
of local media in communities throughout the United States. You
will find information on regional and community newspapers--as well
as public broadcasting outlets, ethnic media and digital sites.
