- lcnPylGDnU4H9OF 4y agoI found this: https://shorensteincenter.org/solutions-americas-local-journalism-crisis-consolidated-literature-review/ https://shorensteincenter.org/solutions-americas-local-journ... > Research shows that the disappearance of credible local news and information contributes to widening political polarization, increasing costs for local government and meaningfully suboptimal community outcomes as independent oversight decreases or, in the worst case, evaporates entirely. I guess the "increasing costs for local government and meaningfully suboptimal community outcomes" bit. It's worth noting that I can't seem to find anything in the references that specifically links that with a decline in reporting by local news.
