Media: Time to Expose Hedge Fund Control of Local News

Hedge funds are increasingly acquiring local news outlets —and in many cases cutting staff, slashing coverage, and redirecting resources to corporate priorities. This undermines community journalism and weakens oversight.

These moves disproportionately affect underserved areas and reduce accountability for powerful local institutions. Media consolidation isn’t abstract — its impacts are real, local, and widespread.

Add your name to demand media platforms and national outlets expose this trend, support independent journalism, and protect the public’s right to community-level reporting.
