I am so thankful that the decline of the local printed news was brought to our attention (“Local media’s decline factors into election,” In Our View, Nov. 15).
Here is a capsule of the progression of the decline of local news: Local news stations were purchased by conglomerates where newscasters read the information fed to them; no more investigations and reporting; local newspapers were bought up and promptly shut down; social media became the norm; each site had a decided bias. Finally, the big progression. Twitter was purchased by an individual with a specific bias and purpose. We lost the ability to hear more than one side of an issue or idea.
We cannot lose our great resource in Clark County.
