Dr. Natalia Linos Supporting Local News Industry with Print Ads

Brookline, MA - Today, epidemiologist Dr. Natalia Linos announced that her campaign is investing $10,000 on print ads in The Sun Chronicle, Taunton Daily Gazette, Newton TAB, and Needham Times. Her campaign is also spending an additional $25,000 to keep her TV ad on the air in the Providence broadcast market and on cable in Boston, bringing her total TV ad buy to $60,000.

“Many politicians say they’re sad about the decline of local journalism and yet very few put their money where their mouth is. I have prioritized print ads as an important way to reach voters but also as an expression of my values. As the leader of a center for health and human rights, I know local news outlets are crucial for the health of our democracy, including here in the Fourth District. Political candidates have a role to play in supporting them; particularly some of my competitors with over $1 million or super PACs behind them,” Dr. Linos said.

“Declining ad revenue at local news outlets is causing painful layoffs and a decline in the breadth and depth of critical news coverage. In Congress, I pledge to explore options to strengthen independent local news ecosystems and counteract the harm done by President Trump’s daily attacks on the news media.”
