Manage episode 431502308 series 2534613
Claire Stuchbery is the CEO of LINA - the Local and Independent News Association. LINA works to ensure that local audiences are served with independent, original, high-quality public-interest news reporting covering important issues. In our conversation, Claire points to some real examples of where local reporting has been able to combat misinformation and surface stories that would not have been told otherwise.
Most of us would agree this is important work. But if the business model doesn’t stack up, the means ability for these newsrooms to continue is diminished. Claire doesn’t sugarcoat or shy away from that reality. So the question becomes, what does an Australia without local news look like?
Claire is one person who’s doing her best to ensure we don’t find out.
