Your local newspapers, television and radio stations help to bring news to people in the area where you live.

The news helps people better understand why the government has made certain choices and how those decisions will affect them personally. Local media also present different sides of an issue, so people can learn about different points of view.

The federal and state governments also provide funding for the establishment of public radio and television stations. In addition to the news, these stations also provide valuable educational programming. Although subsidized by the government, these stations rely heavily on viewer support to continue operating.
