It's primary election day! Local voters are being asked to weigh in on one ballot measure: If Pittsburgh loses its print newspapers, should the city be allowed to post some public hearing notices online instead? Host Megan Harris and executive producer Mallory Falk explain what's behind this measure, the arguments for and against it, and why it matters. (Spoiler: It's about the future of local journalism and how government agencies keep people informed.)

Before you go vote, double check your polling place and take a peek at your sample ballot. If you requested a mail-in ballot, it's too late to actually send it via snail mail, but you can bring it to one of the county's ballot return sites.
