Local News's Decline

Kyle Pope, editor and publisher of the Columbia Journalism Review at the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, and journalist and former Gothamist reporter Emma Whitford, discuss the state of local news, following the recent closure of Gothamist and DNAinfo, two of the city’s leading local news sources. They look at how news organizations are adapting to dwindling resources and how journalists are working to fill the gaps in coverage.
