Local news matters.
Here’s why.
Local news helps build and foster community. Unfortunately, 30,000 newsroom jobs were eliminated in the last decade, and most counties in the US no longer have a daily or weekly newspaper.
NewsBreak is working to help turn the tide by making it easier for everyone to share & access local news. Join us by sharing your voice as an independent journalist, blogger, writer, video creator or engaged community member.
