SIU Professors fighting "news deserts"
By John Small,
7 days agoIllinois is losing journalists and newspapers faster than any other state. That according to the State of Local News Project. It was brought out to an audience Saturday at the Bureau County History Center by guest speakers, Julia Rendleman, SIU professor of Photo Journalism and Alee Quick, Director of the Illinois Press Foundation. The loss of journalists may be one reason the state has what is called news deserts. They are 15 counties – in the lower third of the state – that have no daily or weekly newspapers. This according to Northwestern's Medill School of Journalism.
