ABC News is reporting that five regional news efforts...collaborations between NPR stations and some PBS outlets...will get funding to enhance local news coverage. Funding is coming from CPB. 50 multi-media journalist will be hired. The funding will be available to the five regional hubs for the next two years. The program is an effort to bolster serious journalism which has been in decline in the past few years as newspapers continue to cut back.
In this two year period the stations involved in the project will need to find ways to make initiatives self-sustaining.
