Kojo For Kids: Illustrator And Author Brian Pinkney
For Martin Luther King Day, we hear from an artist who makes civil rights heroes leap off the page.
It has been a rough two decades for local journalism in the D.C. area (and just about everywhere else). Newspapers have shrunken or disappeared, digital outlets have come and gone. Now Facebook, one of the very platforms that contributed to the decline, plans to promote more local news stories to its users. Meanwhile, media entrepreneurship is ramping up, journalists are experimenting with subscription and membership models, and non-profit news outlets are multiplying. Can such solutions help reestablish a robust regional press corps?
