What happens when local news disappears? And what will it take to build a stronger future for the journalism that keeps communities informed and connected?

A new story from UMass Magazine explores those questions through the work and perspectives of UMass students, faculty and alumni who are helping shape what comes next for local news.

From Professor Steve Fox’s work preparing the next generation of journalists to alumni and young reporters finding new ways to serve their communities, the future of local journalism is being written in part by the UMass Amherst community.

After a successful career as an actor in Los Angeles, Kymberly S. Newberry '22 MA, '24 PhD found herself drawn back to the power of art—and discovered a new calling along the way.

Today, she's helping students and communities see the world through a different lens through the transformative power of art.
