Weekly Recommendation

This week’s recommendation is to check out who owns your local newspaper, publication & media outlet. There are many newspapers owned by private equity or large corporations, and it’s important now more than ever to support local, independent journalism.

See archived weekly recommendations (drinks, plates, causes etc.).
