    David Remnick, Carlos Lozada and Nicole Carroll: Behind the Scenes at The Pulitzer Prizes

    Local News Matters With Toluse Olorunnipa, Alissa Zhu & Jessica Gallagher

    Access to local news is in decline. In the last year, 213 US counties did not have any local news sources and 1500 counties had access to only one local news source. Meanwhile, research shows that communities need a shared set of facts in order to have a healthy democracy. In a lot of communities, high school newspapers and broadcasts are filling the gaps by covering local stories and holding officials accountable. In this episode, we go to the Fall National High School Journalism Convention in Nashville to meet some of these young journalists!  Host Nicole Carroll, Co-chair of the Pulitzer Prize Board and director of NEWSWELL, is joined by 2025 Local Reporting winners Alissa Zhu and Jessica Gallagher of The Baltimore Banner and 2023 General Nonfiction co-winner Toluse Olorunnipa to discuss building trust in the communities they cover, the impact of their work, and how local stories can (and often do) have national reach.  Resources: You can find a transcript of this episode here.  This conversation was edited from the live event, details of which are here.   Learn more about Pulitzer on the Road and our upcoming events here.  Learn about the National High School Journalism Convention here If you enjoyed this episode, you may enjoy these previous episodes from the show: Going Beyond the Data: with Trina Reynolds-Tyler, Sarah Conway and Salamishah Tillet AL.com in Brookside, Alabama To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
