How to Inform People in a News Desert

Brian speaks with former media reporter with The Washington Post - Paul Farhi about his latest article entitled "In News Deserts, Trump Won in a Landslide". Donald Trump won the 2024 election with one of the smallest popular-vote margins in U.S. history, but in news deserts – counties lacking a professional source of local news – it was an avalanche. Trump won 91% percent of these counties over his Democratic rival, Kamala Harris, according to an analysis of voting data by Medill Journalism School’s State of Local News project.
