Now through Oct. 25 Anonymous reader offers 5K match for Stripped for Parts documentary donations

Edmonds, WALocal News

My Edmonds News is calling for community donations, offering to match contributions up to $5,000 from an anonymous donor until October 25. This initiative aligns with the screening of the documentary "Stripped for Parts," which examines the detrimental effects of hedge fund ownership on local journalism. The screening will occur at the Edmonds Theater and will be followed by a panel discussion, moderated by MNNN President Teresa Wippel. Panelists will include Jody Brannon of the WSU Murrow News Fellowship, Alex Bruell, a former editor, and Brenda Mann Harrison from the League of Women Voters. The documentary highlights the closure of 2,000 newspapers in the U.

S. over the past 20 years, creating news deserts and diminishing local news coverage. Funds raised from ticket sales and donations will ensure the continuation of reliable daily news in South Snohomish County. The general admission ticket price is set at $25, and additional donations are encouraged. This initiative aims to strengthen community journalism amidst widespread industry challenges.
