There are now more "pink slime" newspapers in the U.S. than there are genuine daily local newspapers. @AxiosNews reports that there are at least 1,265 websites that are backed by dark money or masquerading as local news sites for political purposes, whereas as of last year, there were 1,213 daily local papers. Here's more on the organizations involved, the communities being targeted, and some pointers on how to identify a "pink slime" site.

Local news is crucial to democracy, and it's disappearing — according to a new book by Steven Brill, excerpted in @Semafor, approximately twenty-two hundred papers and their websites went out of business between 2005 and 2021. That's created a vacuum into which "pink-slime" sites have poured. Brill writes about these sites that present themselves as legitimate publishers but are created to boost specific candidates and secretly financed by partisan funders, Democrats and Republicans alike.
