Local News

WJFF - Close to Home with Leif Johansen by Leif Johansen

Episode notes

In this episode, we hear from four Catskills newsmakers about why local news matters amidst a turbulent, partisan, and nationally-focused media landscape, and we consider what the future of community journalism looks like. Special thanks to Joseph Abraham from the Sullivan County Democrat, Paul Ciliberto from Thunder 102, Lissa Harris from The River (and previously the Watershed Post), and Amberly Jane Campbell from the Shawangunk Journal for sharing their thoughts about their work.
