Opis

The local media - local newspapers and radio, regional television, cable television and local news on the internet - represents a diverse and rapidly-changing sector of the British media landscape. This work provides an account of recent developments and future prospects for Britain's local newspapers, local media and local journalism. The contributors consider the distinctive editorial format of local newspapers - daily and weekly papers, free newspapers, and the alternative press - and situate the local press in the context of local, national and multi-national media networks. They assess the news sources and other resources which are available to local journalists, from public relations organizations to local news agencies.

Recenzje

'This inspiring collection... examin[es] contextual and practical matters at the forefront of a sector facing incessant challenges and change... There are many excellent chapters... the breadth and scope of subject matter, including fanzines and the alternative press, ensures this book is informative and provocative, and should inspire a wealth of much-needed research. It also provides essential context for anyone contemplating a career in journalism, a factor often sidelined in mainstream journalism training. - Sarah Niblock, Journalism Practice
