The New England Newspaper & Press Association is proud to be a partner of Local News Day, a national day of action on April 9 connecting communities with trusted local news.
Americans overwhelmingly say that local news is the most important and most trusted source they rely on. Local News Day is designed to help reconnect audiences with local outlets, strengthen community ties, and build a broader movement to sustain local journalism for generations.
As part of the initiative, participating newsrooms will be included in the Local News Finder tool, helping readers discover and subscribe to trusted sources in their communities.
Today is the final day (March 26) to sign up your newsroom to ensure inclusion in the Local News Finder.
Local News Day has a role for everyone who wants to take part. In addition to newsroom participation, companies, nonprofit organizations, and government offices that support local news are encouraged to get involved and help amplify the impact of this national effort.
If you haven’t yet registered, we encourage you to take a moment to do so today. Participating is simple and helps position your publication as part of a nationwide effort to highlight the value and impact of local journalism.
We hope you’ll join us in making Local News Day a strong and visible moment for local news across New England and beyond.
