The Future Of Eastern Market
In order for D.C.'s longtime Eastern Market to survive, merchants say new repairs, signage and management are desperately needed.
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?
