Hedge funds and corporate chains are quietly buying up independent newsrooms, gutting staff, and hollowing out the journalism our communities rely on. That’s why California Common Cause is championing AB 611, the Keep News Independent Act—a bill that brings transparency to ownership changes and gives communities a chance to protect what’s theirs. AB 611 is a powerful solution. This bill would give journalists, community leaders, and independent buyers a fighting chance to keep newsrooms local—before they’re sold off to corporate giants. Take action now—tell the Assembly Judiciary Committee to vote YES on AB 611 and protect California’s local news>> https://act.commoncause.org/letters/tell-lawmakers-to-vote-yes-on-ab-611
