A news desertis something that I learned about this week but immediately caught my interest as an underacknowledged epidemic hurting American society. It is shocking the number of counties in the U.S., one of the most developed nations in the world, which still lack news. We went over our 8 freedoms of expressions but those expressions to exist needs strong news which is why it is such a surprising and important issue. News deserts stop information from being spread through their communities which holds up our freedoms sense without information individuals can’t practice their freedoms. This issue of news deserts is getting worse to as media consolidation and lack of interest kill local news outlets which often cover some of the most impactful information on peoples life’s. Without this impact of news it hurts their communities and lets local issues go unknown. This issue is one very threatening to communities but is also extremely hard to fix.
