Congrats to the five media historians receiving funding to support their diversity and media history research! The microgrants are sponsored by the AEJMC's History Division and AJHA as part of a collaborative effort to stimulate more diversity research in Journalism History and American Journalism.

An interesting and predictable problem.
Locals/metros eliminate wire services, state bureaus and certainly DC bureaus
They look to specialize and avoid giving space to commodity national stories.
As a result - curation and amplification of national-local policy issues goes missing.

1/ A thread about why the gutting of journalism, and local news in particular, is a main reason why we are here. And what you can do—constructively—to help.
Let's start with the homepage of @dallasnews.com. Mostly sports. Almost nothing about what's happening in DC—THAT AFFECTS TEXANS

BREAKING: We’re suing the Trump administration to block the president’s attempt to end birthright citizenship.
An executive order does not have the power to override the Constitution.

This is a repost that caught my attention. Does this insurance cover teachers being sued by students and parents? Or targeting by your own institutions?
Somewhere on here I saw that someone was recommending an academic litigation insurance company. Anyone have one they like?
