CALL YOUR MA STATE SENATOR TODAY TO HELP SAVE LOCAL NEWS!

Written by JASON PRAMAS Posted August 4, 2020 Filed Under: Editorial, News, News to Us, NEWS+OPINIONS, Update

"Boston -Massachusetts State House" by ajay_suresh is licensed under CC BY 2.0

[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. Eric Lesser (D - Longmeadow), Michael Rodrigues (D - Somerset), and Patrick O'Connor (D - Weymouth), who are on the conference committee, to keep the journalism commission in the final economic development bill.

HELP SAVE LOCAL NEWS! ASK YOUR MA STATE REP TO BACK AMENDMENT #40 TODAY!

Written by JASON PRAMAS Posted July 26, 2020 Filed Under: Editorial, News, News to Us, NEWS+OPINIONS, Update

Washington Street, Newspaper Row (in Boston a century ago)

[W]e’re asking all readers who are concerned about the collapse of local news media to contact your state representative and ask them to cosponsor Amendment #40 of H. 4879. The more cosponsors the amendment has, the more likely House Ways and Means will pass it. If that happens it has a good chance of making it through the full legislative process for this session. And becoming a law. Which would be a promising outcome for the future of local news in the Commonwealth.
