1. Colorado is not as American Indian-heavy as, say, New Mexico, but in the racial-ethnic breakout, is there a listing of American Indian journalists, not just a lumping under "people of color" or something? Guess even the full report doesn't tell us. Kind of a #fail on that.
2. Yes, "wither" the carrier would be exactly correct in Pueblo, Corey. (You may have meant "whither"?)
3. Eh, meh of sorts on Sirota from where I stand. He's a #BlueAnon political creature among other things, and of course, his wife is an elected Blue Anon. (On corporate hot takes, I follow Capital and Main. Or The Nation. Or Counterpunch!) That said, I did my "duopoly exit" long long ago on other domestic issues in addition to corporate malfeasance, and on foreign policy.
I just saw that (was in the middle when I posted that!) and came to delete my premature comment lol! But you are FAST! :) this is such great, important work. I’m not sure how I ended up on this list but read with much interest and gratitude!
Two items from this post caught my eye. The second was Kyle Clark’s statement about the need for more accountability journalism. Spot on, and is the reason the first caught my eye; that support for public radio is eroding. I think it is eroding since NPR ditched serious accountability journalism around the time of 9/11. They’ve become a cream puff and both-sideism corporate outlet. Bottom line is that people want journalist to call out bs regardless of party. Clark is so successful because he does so
Absolutely. As referenced in the second item here, "Press Forward, the newly announced effort to raise half a billion dollars for local journalism, is leaving the question largely up to individual funders. Closer to home, Colorado Media Project, which became home to a Press Forward local affiliate this year, has long funded both nonprofit and for-profit media, if the for-profit entities are locally owned."

I'll stick with 'wither.'

It's Communications Workers of America (not Communication).
Thanks! Fixed.
I’m sure they are, but are the relevant ppl and orgs aware of this initiative by the MacArthur Foundation? https://www.macfound.org/programs/bigbets/local-news/
