What is Local News Day?

Local News Day is a national day of action connecting communities with trusted local news. Our mission is simple: reconnect people to trusted local outlets, empower newsrooms to grow, and spark a national movement that sustains local news for generations.

Who’s Behind It?

Local News Day is led by a coalition of journalists, nonprofit leaders, and media innovators, including Montana Free Press, American Journalism Project, Press Forward, and many more. Together, we are united to strengthen and uplift trusted local news and information across the country.
