@nicdawes: New York communities need a diverse ecosystem of news outlets that meet them where they are, on the platforms of their choice, for profit, nonprofit, cooperative. This subsidy props up one (important) slice of sector at the expense of audiences hungry for quality news.
Nicholas Dawes /
@nicdawes: The structure of the credit excludes nonprofits, which are doing some of the most vital accountability reporting and community journalism, and it shuts out publicly owned broadcasters while leaving a giant loophole open for listed print chains.
