There’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to rethink how people around New Jersey stay up to date with what’s going on in their communities and the state. The state’s participation in the recently concluded FCC spectrum auction, in which it sold off its old public-TV licenses, is bringing in hundreds of millions in new public revenues.

Listen to an afternoon of micro-conversations, hosted by WNYC's Rebecca Carroll, featuring lawmakers, writers, artists and educators. This event was held at the Newark Public Library in partnership with Free Press.

The advocacy group Free Press is encouraging public broadcasters to invest their earnings back into local news and information.

Free Press and the Free Press Action Fund launched a campaign to set aside proceeds from the auction of public TV station licenses to strengthen local journalism and community-information projects.
