Abstract: | The global pandemic is a further blow to already struggling local media. Prof. Mary Anne Lauri, media researcher and Editorial Board member at Beacon Media Group, unpacks this trend. Independent journalism costs money. Obtaining otherwise inaccessible information and unveiling corruption takes time and skill. Independent journalism also enables citizen participation. In challenging times, showcasing altruism helps restore faith in humanity. It guards public interest and sustains a democratic environment. Should somebody tell you that, for the price of a daily coffee, you can help safeguard your country’s democracy, how would you react? |
