When I begin to despair or feel overwhelmed by national news, one of the most helpful responses I know is to turn my focus back to my local community and local politics—not just because local events have a more immediate impact on me, but also because I can have a more immediate impact on local events.
Quality local news coverage is critical to being locally aware. If you’re in Tucson, here are three small locally run, locally focused independent news outlets you can support right now.
- The Tucson Agenda (and their state counterpart The Arizona Agenda)
- The Tucson Sentinel
- The Arizona Luminaria
All of these news sources are available to read for free. But they also all have subscribe, support, or donate options. If you want to do something concrete right now–if you want to support something that matters right now–supporting these outlets would be an excellent place to start.
Not in Tucson? Tell us about local independent news outlets you find worth supporting in the comments.
