About this listen

California’s trailblazing program to help keep independent journalism alive is in danger of losing its funding At a time when legacy media are struggling to stay afloat and the world of journalism is shrinking by the day, the state of California has been a pioneer, funding dozens of reporters in newsrooms around the state, through its California Local News Fellowship program at UC Berkeley’s School of Journalism. But that money will run out unless the state legislature re-authorizes it. All of this has been the result of a tireless campaign by former State Senator and Orinda Mayor Steve Glazer, who continues his fight to save independent journalism even though he has retired from elective office. For more, KCBS Radio news anchor Steve Scott, along with KCBS political reporter Doug Sovern, spoke with Steve Glazer.
