Amy Vernon, co-founder of Predictable.ly, says an idea like Report for America, a corps of early or mid-career journalists who will cover important local news that’s being missed, could help support quality local journalism. Vernon says local news is becoming harder for readers to find, but readers care more about local news and it’s more important to their daily lives. An Americorps-style program for journalism would not be as dependent on advertising dollars for funding, leaving the journalists free to focus on the stories.
