Sat Oct 02 11:05:23 GMT 2021
New book
*/Reappraising Local and Community News in the UK: Media, Practice, and
Policy/*
Offering an analysis of the ongoing ‘crisis’ in the provision of local
news, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, the book provides a critical
space for practitioners and scholars to reflect on emerging models for
economically sustainable, participatory local news services. It
showcases new scholarly analyses of local news provision and community
news practices, giving voice to the experiences of practitioners from
across the local news ecology. In a set of diverse contributing
chapters, campaigners and practitioners map out the period of recent
rapid change for local news, questioning contemporary government
initiatives and highlighting the advent of diverse, entrepreneurial
reactions to the spaces created by a decline in local mainstream news
services. This book is a timely examination of what we can learn from
the variety of approaches being taken across the local media landscape
in the commercial, subsidised and non-profit sector, shining new light
on how practices that place the engagement of citizens at their centre
might be propagated within this policy and funding landscape.
