   NewsGuild-CWA President Jon Schleuss told a House subcommittee on   
   Friday that local news is facing "an extinction-level" threat that   
   jeopardizes American democracy.   
      
   "In the last 16 years, 2,100 newsrooms across the country have shut   
   down," Schleuss said. "And there are half as many newspaper   
   journalists working today as there were a decade ago."
