At the height of the coronavirus pandemic, the public’s access to reliable, timely information is at risk.
With businesses closing and ad revenue plummeting, many newspapers have already cut print days. Some have suspended operations, and thousands of journalists are facing layoffs, furloughs and pay cuts.
A vast number of news outlets are threatened with extinction.
But we need the news, now more than ever.
Please include the news industry in the next stimulus package and protect access to this vital, life-saving essential service.
