Recenzje

'For those who still question why the decline of local journalism matters, this book provides the answer, through a series of clear and compelling studies that show how democracy suffers as local journalism deteriorates. And, not content to just sound the alarm, Hayes and Lawless explore a key solution path – resuscitating audience demand for local news.' Philip Michael Napoli, Duke University
