What's Your Community's Local Journalist Equivalent?
“While the overall trend is troubling, some communities maintain strong coverage. Driven by the independently owned Daily Journal, Lee County, Mississippi, ranks first in the state and the top 2% nationally, with more than 52.1 Local Journalist Equivalents (LJEs) per 100,000 residents. Jerauld County, South Dakota, tops the rankings in terms of per-capita coverage. It has nearly 256.8 LJEs per 100,000 residents, helped by a vibrant paper and a tiny population.” ~ Rebuild Local News
