CALL YOUR MA STATE SENATOR TODAY TO HELP SAVE LOCAL NEWS!
[W]e’re asking all journalists, journalism educators, journalism students, media reform activists, and DigBoston readers who agree that the state journalism commission should be created to call your Mass state senator today and ask him/her to tell Sens.

And becoming a law. Which would be a promising outcome for the future of local news in the Commonwealth.
