The map is emptying
213 counties have no local news outlet. Is yours one of them?
Another 1,524 counties are down to a single source, and more than two local newspapers close every week (Medill, State of Local News 2025). The news doesn't stop when the paper does — it just goes untold.
One neighbor changes it
Every county on this list needs exactly one person
OurWeek gives that person everything a weekly needs — neighbor submissions, local feeds, sponsors, print, and delivery. One morning a week, the whole community reads itself again.
