Local News Day, a new national day of action on April 9, aims to connect people with trusted local news in their communities.
The mission is simple:
• Reconnect people to trusted local outlets
• Empower newsrooms to grow
• Spark a national movement that sustains local news for generations
This is a powerful, free opportunity to bridge the gap between your newsroom and your community, supporting audience growth and deepening community trust.
Join us on March 5 for a special webinar in The Lab Link series to help you prepare for Local News Day on April 9. You’ll hear the story behind the Local News Day mission and get a clear, actionable roadmap for how your newsroom can participate at no cost. Hear from Montana Free Press about the origins of the idea, and from other organizers about various ways to participate in Local News Day and grow news engagement in your community!
