Only 54% of Americans say they feel very or mostly free to express political views without government interference or punishment today—down from 72% a decade ago. Just 42% expect to feel that free 10 years from now. Explore our new survey with SSRS: knightfoundation.org/article…

NEWS: Today, Knight Foundation and @villagemedia announced a new initiative to launch 15 digital newsrooms across three U.S. states. The partnership brings Village's proven model for sustainable local journalism to communities where trusted local information is increasingly at risk. These newsrooms will help strengthen their communities through local reporting, civic engagement, and support for local businesses and organizations. They will be locally focused, locally staffed, and, over time, locally owned. Read more at the link in the comments below to learn more.
