New Jersey governor Phil Murphy is expected to sign a bill that would dedicate $5 million in government funding to local media projects.
The so-called Civic Info Bill was passed by the state legislature in June and will create the Civic Information Consortium, a nonprofit organization that gives grants to promote media in underserved communities, low-income communities and communities of color.
Applicants apply for grants by proposing a collaboration between one of five public universities and a community organization, a media outlet, or a member of the states technology sector. The proposal must also offer a clear benefit to communities.
One goal of proposed grants should be to better meet the information needs of low-income communities and racial and ethnic communities that have been underserved by the media.

I hate this state. My wife won’t move. Period. I’m trapped like a fly stuck in tree sap here, slowly waiting for it to crystallize into amber and leave me imprisoned for eternity.
A PC excuse to bail out the dying dinosaur MSM?
Don’t be a victim!
Wherever ever you are, FIGHT for liberty like the patriots that won it for our forefathers. Make them proud and don’t let them down. YOU are the sharp tip of the spear and you are near a gap in the wall. Look for it and stand in the breech until reinforcements arrive or you fall whichever comes first.
Tha ballon is up, there is no tommorow, it’s do or die, now or never!

Toldja so.
As dinosaur newspapers die the Left is going to start pressing to subsidize them.
The effort will employ 150 of the very faithful who will operate the mimeograph machine to print the handbills to be posted on light poles around the city where they will be ignored
Prominent in the postings will be the wisdom of Maxine Waters and Senator Booker
