""The initiative isn't about fundraising specifically as much as it is about drawing the public's attention back to local news," Adams said. An era of constant distraction tends to pull our attention away from local, toward platforms and national and international news."
""If you're producing local journalism, we want to bring audiences to your doorstep, and that's really what Local News Day is all about," Adams said."
Local News Day, inspired by National Voter Registration Day, is set for April 9, involving over 1,300 local newsrooms and numerous partners. The initiative seeks to draw public attention back to local news amidst distractions from national media. It encourages actions like subscribing to local news sources and tuning into public radio. Supported by various sponsors and a database of local news organizations, the campaign emphasizes the relevance of local journalism in daily life.
