Gannett Hudson Valley Virtual Town Hall

02/28/2024, 7:30pm – 7:00pm

Gannett Hudson Valley Virtual Town Hall
Wednesday, February 28, 7:30pm ET

Join the Hudson Valley News Guild for a town hall to address the crisis in local news and how Gannett journalists are fighting to fix it.

Journalists from The Journal News, The Times Herald-Record, and The Poughkeepsie Journal will look at how years of corporate cutbacks by Gannett - the nation’s largest newspaper chain - have hurt their ability to cover bread-and-butter issues in their communities. Gannett’s disinvestment from local coverage has seriously jeopardized the futures of these three historic newspapers. It’s up to us to save local news in the Hudson Valley.

Local elected officials and community leaders will join journalists to talk about how Gannett’s mismanagement has hurt communities up and down the Hudson Valley and what is needed to save local news. Featured guests include Westchester County Executive George Latimer and Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano.
