Northwestern University School of Journalism recently released the "2023 Local bet365 coupon code Report"。This report documents more than just the changing landscape of local journalism in the United States,Household income also used、Population Density、Per capita GDP and other indicators,Speculate whether a person lives in a "bet365 coupon code desert" with a lack of bet365 coupon code media or a "bet365 coupon code oasis" with an abundance of bet365 coupon code media。

According to Sarah Stonbely, project director of Local News Report,Quality local journalism is as important as having public education resources and access to health care,Contribute to building an informed、Healthy Society。But,In the United States,Persistent inequality between wealthy communities with strong local journalism and poor communities with weak local journalism。Most poor communities are “news deserts”,Only a few journalists search and report daily news,While this is an integral part of community engagement and democratic participation。A major challenge facing local journalism in America’s poor communities is,Sudden reduction in advertising revenue after the shift from traditional print media to digital media。Advertising revenue from print news accounts for approximately 80% of the revenue of bet365 coupon code,The proportion of advertising revenue from digital news is less than 20%。As ad revenue has declined over the past decade,Many U.S. news media have had to cut costs、Seeking reader funding or charitable sponsorship。But,People have limited discretionary income for subscriptions and donations,Sponsorship from local charitable organizations is difficult to obtain,Some local news media can only stay afloat by reducing costs。This forms a vicious circle,i.e. declining news quality and declining readers,Ultimately leading to the collapse of local news media。

 2023,More than 130 print newspapers in the United States have ceased operation。Stone Bailey said,They are the most likely sources to produce original, local content that can be distributed by other media。Starting from 2005,Nearly 2,900 newspapers in the United States have ceased operations。However,Emerging digital bet365 coupon code are not growing fast enough to fill this huge gap。In recent years,The number of digital bet365 coupon code in the United States has stabilized at around 550,About 20 bet365 coupon code are established every year,About the same number of institutions failed at the same time。

In comparison,Wealthier communities in the United States do better at keeping local bet365 coupon code afloat。Stone Bailey said,Counties with average household incomes over ,000 have the capacity to support a thriving local news ecosystem,This means a county can have 10 or more bet365 coupon code。And the average household income is 5.Counties ,000 and below are more likely to be “news deserts”。Currently,1558 of the 3143 counties in the United States have only one news media,There are still 204 counties that lack any newspapers、Local digital website、Public radio stations and other media,Belongs to "News Desert"。Researchers also based on the characteristics of the current "news desert",Lists 228 other counties that may become “news deserts” in the coming years。

In addition,Population density is also related to the number of local bet365 coupon code in the United States。Report Display,Counties with 10 or more bet365 coupon code are mostly located in cities or densely populated suburbs,And "news deserts" are usually located in rural or low-income areas of cities。Densely populated neighborhoods tend to contain households with higher incomes,This creates a network effect,Allows bet365 coupon code to reach larger audiences in a relatively small area。

Network effects also bring up another factor that affects the number of local bet365 coupon code in the United States: gross domestic product per capita。Report Display,The "News Oasis" region has a GDP per capita of ,140,64 for “news desert” areas。In a "news desert" area,The proportion of the population living below the poverty line exceeds 16% on average,In areas where journalism is developed,This ratio is 12%。This difference reflects the number of businesses that have the ability to place ads in local news outlets or provide jobs that enable residents to donate to local news outlets。The quality of broadband network service will also have an impact on whether a community will become a "news desert"。Stone Bailey said,High-quality broadband network is almost a necessity of contemporary life,But it has not yet become widespread among rural Americans。

Stoneberry thinks,The solution to the uneven development of the local news industry in the United States is becoming increasingly clear。First,Expand cooperation。For example,The American media "The Daily Yonder" hired local reporters to write stories about rural life in Colorado,And work with national and local level bet365 coupon code to disseminate these stories。Secondly,Developing philanthropy。Groups such as the National Trust for Local News are acquiring bet365 coupon code that would be acquired by hedge funds,Want to convert it into a non-profit organization,Thus continuing to serve the community。Finally,Play a positive role in public policy。For example,New Jersey and California and other places have introduced policies to support local journalism,There may be more related bills passed in state legislatures in the United States in the future。
