We can't support full newspapers, with multiple editorial staff, printing presses, daily deliveries, etc.

But blog-style pages that report news from local council meetings? This is definitely within reach. Perhaps with a podcast channel on Youtube.

Local governance is the most important level for the democracy. It sounds weird, but it's absolutely crucial:

1. You can personally see the effects of decisions made.

2. They affect your daily life.

3. You can see that democracy _works_.

4. It's a good training ground for people with ambitions for higher-level elections.
