COMMENTARY BY VINCENT DUFFY
Local Journalism Matters More Than Ever
Vincent Duffy, news director at Michigan Radio: “We sometimes treat local journalism like it’s not as big a deal or as important as the national networks. But in the communities we cover that is not the case. [The Flint, Mich., water] story would not have come to light without local journalists, and now that the national media have turned their attention to Trump, and Zika and the Panama Papers, local journalists are still in Flint chasing this story.”
