I just read Tingley's article and just saw the pbs--and what i felt again and again is how important local journalism is, and how important information is, and how dangerous misinformation and the takeover of local newspapers is as well, as the consolidation of farms and large corporate entities. What's clear to me is how touched i am by honesty, hard work, people working for the good---and how terrified I am of wilful ignorance, propaganda, autocratic takeover--and the loss of thoughtful commentary. I support whatever local newspapers i can, and the farmers' market, and people who continually fight for our earth, our water, our air, and pbs from which i learn an enormous amount. What's continually hard for me is to see how effective disinformation and demonization work and how hard it is to have people look closely--critical thinking and creative imagination......
It’s very, very sad to read about the decline of local newspapers. If go fund me works, I’m all for it. I think local papers are extremely important.
Art Cullen is an inspiration.
