The Stakes Are High – Why We Need To Invest In Local Media & Journalism

The stakes are high. The future of news reporting will not only shape our communities and conversations but also influence the very fabric of our democracies. The stories we tell, and the collaborations we forge during challenging times, will be key. At the heart of this is the next generation—how we can support them in better understanding where the world is headed and how they can make a difference. This is why my work with LocalMotion Enfield, a grassroots movement dedicated to empowering communities across our borough, is so crucial.
LocalMotion Enfield operates in a variety of ways, including a media partnership with our local newspaper, The Enfield Dispatch. This collaboration raises awareness of local projects, issues, and community initiatives.
But it doesn’t stop there. Our work is forward-thinking and dynamic, giving young voices a platform and nurturing the next generation of journalists. By doing so, we’re helping combat misinformation and ensuring that these future storytellers are equipped to share the truth.
