Part of getting out from under our #disinformation society is rebuilding local news. Sometimes that news is owned by conglomerates, but if they are serving your community, you must support them. Information is everything when suffering through an information war. We need to pass the Local Journalism Sustainability Act in the next Congress #LJSA (NOT #JCPA) #SaveLocalNews

The Pasadena Media Foundation directly supports local
reporters & local coverage by news organizations.
We don't go door-to-door with a baseball bat, but thanks to Pearls Before Swine for the home run message about supporting local news. That's all we do. #SaveLocalNews

There have been numerous occasions when we're like "HEY (SOCIAL MEDIA) we just posted this really big, important story! It's not super flashy, but it matters and we worked really hard on it!" And (social media) is like "Lol um ya we're just gonna stuff that at the very bottom and see if anyone doomscrolls all the way down to it, it will amuse us" ... so it'll be interesting to see if that happens here.
