Hundreds of thousands of people in Montcalm County now have access to naloxone, an opioid overdose antidote, thanks to a partnership between the Montcalm Community Foundation, a group of local businesses and Corewell Health, which is providing the medication in communities across the region. Corewell Health also has naloxone vending machines located in a number of locations, including the Emergency Department at the Montcalm County Hospital and the Belding and Greenville Township Police departments.
A rich and fascinating anatomy of what happens to a town in the years after its newspaper dies—and how some people are trying to revive it. In his superbly written book, Andrew Conte argues that the loss of local journalism is a threat to democracy and provides insight into how and why it is being killed. It is a remarkably important work that will be useful to scholars and ordinary citizens alike.
A troubling story that needs to be told. Conte’s book, based on the work of his Center for Media Innovation at Point Park University in Pittsburgh, is an invaluable contribution to the discussion about the future of local news and journalism. His book is an essential read for anyone interested in the future of our democracy and the vitality of local journalism. —David R.
