Here’s a twist on an old saying in the news business: Do you want good government or good journalism?
More accurately, don’t you want critically important news stories?
Sadly, bad government — defined by corruption, failed promises, hypocrisy and dishonesty — exists far too much. And that makes good dogged journalism, especially at a local level, more critically important than ever.
If there was one theme that stood out among the winners of this year’s Pulitzer Prizes it’s that local journalism can still make a difference in the lives of everyday people.
