Summary "Award-winning journalist Dave Hoekstra interviews the people trying to keep the lights on at community newspapers across the country amid buyouts, declining revenues, fake news, and a pandemic. This is not another account of the death of local journalism-but rather a celebration of the community ties, perseverance, and empathy that's demonstrated in community newsrooms across the country"-- Provided by publisher.
