Illinois Is Losing Newspapers, Journalists And The Truth
Update: 2024-12-09
Description
More than two newspapers shut their doors every week in the U.S., according to a new study from Medill.
Closer to home, Illinois ranks No. 6 in the country for the most number of newspaper closures in one year. At least five counties in the state are considered “news deserts” and 40 Illinois counties only have one local news source.
