A Free and Fair Press in Cleveland–A Conversation with Cleveland Mayor Justin Bibb and WKyc’s Russ Mitchell

Essential—and foundational—to our democracy is the promise of a free and fair press. Civic life thrives when the relationship between media and government remains strong, transparent, and accountable. This is especially true at the local level, where access to trusted journalism directly shapes meaningful community engagement.

In Cleveland, the city is working to modernize operations and reassert its legacy in industry, growth, and innovation. Lakefront and downtown development have dominated recent headlines, alongside major initiatives focused on public safety and neighborhood stabilization.
