Research shows that high-quality local journalism is essential to good governance, helping moderate party-line politics and corruption. Yet our analysis of more than 300 local, national and online news websites shows that local news outlets lack secure methods for the public to contact and communicate with them with newsworthy information. We discuss the implications of these findings and directions for future research.
