In mid-March, FT Magazine published an article titled No News is Bad News. “The U.S. has lost two-thirds of its newspaper journalists since 2005,” it noted. A commenter in a subreddit discussing the story declared flatly, “The golden age of small town corruption has already started.”

Concerns like those voiced by the anonymous commenter, combined with renewed awareness of the role of journalism in democratic governance, are driving a massive philanthropic movement, Press Forward, dedicated to raising $500 million dollars in support of reinvigorating local news around the United States.
