GoLocal, Rhode Island’s only locally owned state-wide news organization, is announcing a major expansion of opinion and community conversation.
“We are continuing to make a significant commitment to bringing Rhode Islanders a diverse range of voices and perspectives,” said Josh Fenton, CEO and Co-Founder of GoLocal.
“Over the past few years, we have invested in supporting some of the smartest thinkers and leaders in Rhode Island. With the near-collapse of the Providence Journal, expanding the community discussion is even more important. Rhode Islanders want to see and read a range of voices and political vantage points -- it is critical to democracy,” added Fenton.
