And they’re right to think so; their fear is warranted, because that’s what the small newspapers do so well: Keep a steady eye on the opportunistic city government, the shady school board, the double-dipping water commissioner. And there’s a direct relationship between a town’s size and its paper. The smaller the town, the more important the paper is to the people who live there, and the more important it is for the paper to keep a watchful eye on the people who supervise themselves."QuestionWhich of the following best explains how the author supports his claim that community newspapers are essential for local accountability?(1 point)ResponsesBy highlighting the economic challenges faced by small newspapers.By highlighting the economic challenges faced by small newspapers.By describing the close-knit relationships between journalists and local officials.By describing the close-knit relationships between journalists and local officials.By illustrating how community newspapers monitor local authorities and emphasizing their significance in smaller towns.By illustrating how community newspapers monitor local authorities and emphasizing their significance in smaller towns.
