Welcome to the newest season of Building Local Power, The Data Centers Are Coming, where we take a trip across the country to some of the hot spots for data center fights. Big Tech is racing for AI dominance, attempting to steamroll local communities through secrecy and shell companies, but that's only part of the story. We hear from activists and agitated neighbors, experts on energy supply and the environment, and tech correspondents chasing these fights across state lines. Through this series, we start to uncover just how deeply this conflict is steeped in America's legacy of monopoly corporations versus motivated local communities. And we learn that one thing is certain: the corporate giants behind the data center boom better not underestimate the power of passionate and organized local resistance.

Seattle loves to think of itself as an informed, engaged, "I-read-the-footnotes" kind of city. But what happens when the institutions we rely on to tell our stories are shrinking, consolidating, or vanishing altogether? Join Marcus Harrison Green with Florangela Davila, Hannah Murphy Winter, and Naomi Ishisaka for a candid, no-spin conversation about the state of local media— and what it means for the future of civic life in Seattle. We'll dig into questions like: Who gets covered, and who only shows up in the news when something goes wrong? What does it mean when neighborhoods lose beat reporters, but gain police press releases and political mailers? How are grassroots, BIPOC-led, and community media stepping in where legacy outlets have stepped back—and what support do they actually need to survive? And how do everyday readers and listeners move from consuming the news to co-creating it? Alongside Florangela Davila, of the South Seattle Emerald, Hannah Murphy Winter of The Stranger, and Naomi Ishisaka from The Seattle Times, Marcus will explore how we rebuild trust in news, fund coverage that actually reflects our communities, and resist the slide into a city where the loudest voices are the best-funded ones. This won't be a nostalgia tour for the "good old days" of print. It's a conversation about what comes next—and how Seattle can choose a media ecosystem that serves people, not just profit. Host:  Erica C. Barnett is a longtime journalist covering local news and politics, co-founder of PubliCola, and author of Quitter: A Memoir of Drinking, Relapse, and Recovery.  Panelists: Florangela Davila is the Executive Director of the South Seattle Emerald and a longtime Seattle journalist whose work has centered on both race and the creative community. She's the former race and immigration reporter at The Seattle Times, former arts reporter at KPLU, former managing editor and host at Crosscut/Cascade PBS, and most recently, the news director at KNKX Public Radio, where she led the newsroom to more than two dozen regional and national awards during her four-year tenure. Hannah Murphy Winter is The Stranger's Editor-in-Chief and writes about queerness, justice, the climate crisis, and the intersection between politics and the arts, usually not all at once. Naomi Ishisaka is the social justice columnist and assistant managing editor for diversity, inclusion, and staff development at The Seattle Times. Presented by Town Hall Seattle and The Stranger.

For decades, local media relied on a simple formula: build audience, and advertisers would follow. Now, Gordon Borrell notes, that formula has quietly failed as the local business landscape and marketing decision-makers have shifted. Service businesses, in-house marketers, and AI-driven tools increasingly control ad spending. Borrell warns traditional media must rethink their sales approach to stay relevant with today's advertisers.

The "No Kings" rallies held this past weekend successfully captured the spotlight, earning enthusiastic and widespread coverage from local media outlets. The positive press suggests that the demonstrations effectively communicated their message, turning a grassroots effort into a significant local news event.

Despite a stagnant Congress and a lack of effort from Republicans, the "No Kings" movement saw a massive surge this weekend, with over 500 groups leveraging a $300 billion budget to organize rallies that earned rave reviews from local media.

While Senator Lindsey Graham faces criticism for vacationing at Disney World instead of working, South Carolina's political landscape is shifting with Mark Sanford officially entering the race for the 1st Congressional District. Meanwhile, despite the massive scale of the "No Kings" rallies, local media has offered celebratory coverage without asking critical questions, even as the movement sparks a broader debate over the unique rights and responsibilities tied to U.S. citizenship.

In this episode of Retail War Games, Jeremy sits down with a staple of Utah broadcasting, Nicea DeGering. With a career spanning over 30 years at ABC4, Nicea shares her journey from being a 29-year-old crime reporter to becoming a pioneer of "infotainment" as the face of Good Things Utah. She offers a rare look into the survival skills required to stay relevant in a transitory business, having successfully navigated her role through seven different station owners.The conversation explores the profound shift in local media—from the strict lines of 90s traditional news to the personality-driven, community-focused landscape of today. Nicea breaks down why local storytelling remains essential even in the age of social media, describing the early days of her show as a "community gathering place" that functioned like Facebook before Facebook existed.Beyond the industry shifts, Nicea speaks candidly about the personal toll of being in the public eye. She discusses her evolution from trying to please every social media critic to finally embracing her own authenticity, concluding that "the only person I'm good at being is me". Whether you are a brand looking to tell your story or a leader navigating a changing industry, this episode is a masterclass in staying power, authenticity, and the art of human connection.

AI is quickly becoming a marketing advisor for small businesses -- perhaps even replacing ad agencies and trusted media advisors. But there are pitfalls. SMB marketing maven Shannon Kinney signs in as guest co-host for this episode and explains why businesses need to think of AI as a happy intern, a powerful assistant that needs training and direction to deliver real results. The conversation also explores how AI can empower small businesses to handle more marketing themselves while increasing the need for strategic advisors who add real insight.
