Ep 205: "Local journalism is not dead, and LA is leading the way!” with Michele Siqueiros
About this episode
Rob Ryan interviews Michele Siqueiros about the importance of local journalism and its impact on communities and democracy.
What happens when local news disappears—and who decides which stories get told? In this thought-provoking episode, Rob Ryan sits down with Michele Siqueiros, CEO of LA Local, to explore the critical role of local journalism in building trust, informing communities, and strengthening democracy. Michele shares her journey into nonprofit media, the challenges facing traditional news outlets, and how innovative, community-driven approaches are reshaping the future of journalism in Los Angeles. From crisis reporting to empowering the next generation of journalists, this conversation reveals why reliable, local information matters more than ever.
