In Alabama, Georgia, and Florida (the states in our public radio coverage area), according to the University of North Carolina School of Journalism and Media, there is a marked decline in the publishing of newspapers, especially in rural areas. Chuck Holmes, an award-winning journalist who now heads the Alabama Humanities Alliance, talks with Carolyn Hutcheson, host of In Focus, about that decline.
