Local newspapers

This paper argues that there was no national press in the 19th century, as we understand the term ‘national’ today (the category was not used by contemporaries). Some London publications such as radical unstamped newspapers, popular Sunday papers, the Illustrated London News and The Times could be described as national – however, they had an incomplete geographical reach, were read by small minorities and only carried news of certain areas of the country. In contrast, if we consider the provincial press as one system rather than a collection of isolated publications, it was a national press. There are good reasons for treating it as a system – that is how advertisers, publishers and journalists saw it; it functioned as a system, with personnel, content, business and editorial innovations moving freely around a national network of local papers. Further, local matter (editorial and advertising) usually constituted a minority of the content of the local press - these newspapers carried considerable Parliamentary and foreign news, plus stories from across the British Isles (gathered directly or indirectly from other local papers) and national advertisements. Syndicated fiction, features, leader columns and London letters, press agency material, pre-printed ‘insides', chains of local papers and non-resident editors all cast doubt on the notion of ‘local’ papers. The historiography of 19th-century newspapers acknowledges all these matters, alongside the far greater numbers of provincial papers; yet the implications have not been pursued: that the local press as a system was more integrated into the everyday lives of individuals and communities than metropolitan publications, and that its wider circulation and greater relevance to readers meant that it probably had more influence than the London press. It therefore deserves much more study.

In 2010, when Pennhurst State School and Hospital, a long-abandoned residential facility for people with intellectual/ developmental disabilities, was reused as a haunted attraction called "Pennhurst Asylum," it sparked a public debate and became an occasion for storytelling about what Pennhurst meant to the surrounding Pennsylvania community. I apply theoretical perspectives from memory studies to the case of "Pennhurst Asy-lum" in order to understand what is at stake when we remember institutional spaces such as Pennhurst. More specifically, this case study is based on a narrative analysis of 224 relevant news stories, reader letters, and comments appearing in Pennsylvania newspapers in 2010 and 2011. The narrative patterns I identify have ramifications for contemporary disability politics; the emergence of minority histories into official, public narratives; the role of local news in the formation of public memory; and ethical debates over how to approach popular representations of historical trauma.

Abstract: As the cradle of numerous civilizations and as a socio-
political entity which has left its mark on history with its multi-
ethnic, multi-religious, and multicultural constitution, as well as
its commercial aspect, the Province of Hatay, and in particular the
districts of Antakya and İskenderun, has always been the centre of
attention for researchers. This study investigates the transformation
and progression of the local press, and especially the local newspapers,
within an economically and politically multi-ethnic structure
that has witnessed the evolution of Hatay through the stages of
Sanjak of Alexandretta (İskenderun), the Hatay State, and finally
the Province of Hatay of Turkish Republic. The study is conducted
within a critical theory perspective, incorporating a literature
review, face-to-face and in-depth interviews, content analysis and
critical theoretical approaches. Following the statement made by
Albert Camus in 1944, which declared that the press is free when
it is not dependent on the power of state and money, the reflection
of this approach on the local context of Hatay has been investigated.
Especially due to its geopolitical importance for the history of
Turkish Republic, the Province of Hatay is significant as a province
with many local newspapers. Keywords: Local Newspapers, Local

Yerel gazetelerin hizmet ettikleri bölgelerde bilgilendirme, öğretme, eğlendirme, yerel yönetimleri denetleme, kamuoyu oluşturma ve demokratik katılımın sağlanması gibi konularda işlevleri bulunmaktadır. Yereldeki gazeteleri ulusal gazetelerden ayıran en önemli özellik içeriğidir. Yerel basındaki içerik üretme sorunu üzerine yoğunlaşan bu çalışma, yerel gazetelerdeki içerik problemini ortaya çıkarma amacı taşımaktadır. Bu hedef doğrultusunda ele alınan üç gazete (Niğde Günaydın, Niğde Haber ve Dünden Bugüne Gündem) içeriklerinin analiz edilmesi sonucunda, üç farklı gazetede çoğunlukla aynı haberlerin
yapıldığı, özel haberin neredeyse hiç olmadığı ve yerel halkın sorunlarına yönelik haberlerin çok az yer bulduğu tespit edilmiştir.

The Problem of Producing Content of Local Newspapers: Niğde Sample

Local newspapers have functions in areas such as informing, teaching, entertaining, monitoring local governments, creating public opinion and ensuring democratic participation. The most important feature that separates local newspapers from national newspapers is the content. This study, which focuses on the problem of producing content in local media, aims to reveal the content problem in local newspapers. As a result of analyzing the contents of the three newspapers (Niğde Günaydın, Niğde Haber and Dünden Bugüne Gündem) which were dealt with in line with this target, it was found that mostly the same news stories were made in three different newspapers, there was almost no special news and the news about the problems of the local people found very little space.

The daily newspaper in North America has long been a locally based medium that offers an opportunity for media geographers to explore concepts of place and locality. I explore how newspapers create a sense of place about the locality they serve. I review some of the major geographic theories of place and the local and also the work of communications scholars on how newspapers construct reality in their pages. I apply these ideas to the notion that newspapers construct a sense of place using both the form and the content of the newspaper. I also include a content analysis that examines how the newspaper’s constructed sense of place changed from the late 19th century to the early years of the 21st century.

This study explores which sources are ‘‘making’’ local news and whether these sources are simply indicating the type of news that appears, or are shaping newspaper coverage. It provides an
empirical record of the extent to which sources are able to dominate news coverage from which future trends in local journalism can be measured. The type and number of sources used in 2979 sampled news stories in four West Yorkshire papers, representing the three main proprietors of local newspapers in the United Kingdom, were recorded for one month and revealed the relatively narrow range of routine sources; 76 per cent of articles cited only a single source. The analysis indicates that journalists are relying less on their readers for news, and that stories of little consequence are being elevated to significant positions, or are filling news pages at the expense of
more important stories. Additionally, the reliance on a single source means that alternative views and perspectives relevant to the readership are being overlooked. Journalists are becoming more passive, mere processors of one-sided information or bland copy dictated by sources. These trends indicate poor journalistic standards and may be exacerbating declining local newspaper sales.

This report examines the state of hyperlocal publishing in the UK and lays out core challenges facing the sector. It was commissioned by the Centre for Community Journalism at Cardiff University and the innovation agency Nesta.

The report evidences the contribution of hyperlocal platforms to civic life and media plurality against a backdrop of closures, mergers, cutbacks and declining regional newspaper sales. It also showcases innovative business models and examples of community journalism influencing and informing grassroots decision-making.

Democracy Fund’s Public Square Program commissioned a series of reports from regions around the country to better understand the complex forces shaping local news ecosystems. In this report, the authors have sought to ask these questions, and map out the strengths and challenges facing North Carolina as the landscape of local news continues to shift due to economic and technological change.

Our study tries to understand the phenomenon of Entrapment, which is an outcome of (a) security discourses that prioritize pre-emptive community strategies; (b) the ongoing military initiative of the Global War of Terror (GWOT); and (c) and the increased budgetary convergence of state agencies of the National Security Agency (NSA), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the military, impacting the legal and court processes that indict “homegrown” terrorists. We offer a critical discourse analysis of the events that led to the arrest and trial of Mohamed Osman Mohamud, covered in local newspapers The Oregonian and The Willamette Week, after he was held for the intent to use a weapon of mass destruction during a customary Christmas tree-lighting ceremony in downtown Portland, Oregon on November 26, 2010. The press and defense lawyers call this a case of FBI entrapment. Entrapments pose a serious threat to community peace and to contemporary understandings of multiculturalism. ...

Tarihsel akış içinde insanoğlu, devamlı surette merak güdüsüyle çevresinde olup biteni öğrenme ihtiyacında olmuştur. Böylesi bir ihtiyacın sonucu olarak ortaya çıkan yazılı basın bilgi ve kanaatlerin oluşmasında ve aktarılmasında önemli bir yere sahiptir. İnsanların yakın ve uzak çevrelerine yönelik ilgilerine bağlı olarak, içerik ve dağıtım alanlarına göre farklılaşan basın; uluslararası, ulusal, bölgesel ve yerel ölçekte faaliyet göstermektedir. Bu çalışmanın odaklandığı yerel gazeteler ise genel olarak basının görevlerini ve iş- levlerini lokal düzeyde gerçekleştirmektedir. Bir yörede yayımlanan ve dağıtımı yapılan yerel gazeteler, yöre halkının sorunlarının yansıtılmasında ve taleplerinin aktarılmasında işlevsel bir misyona sahiptir. Diğer taraftan altı çizilmesi gereken bir husus olarak, yerel gazeteler, ekonomik, teknik, vb. sorunlarla karşı karşıyadır ve gazetecilik alanında yetiş- miş nitelikli eleman bulmakta güçlük çekmektedir. Bu tür sorunlar, yaygın basınla rekabeti zorlaştırmış ve doğal olarak yerel basın okuyucularının sürekli olarak azalmasına neden olmuştur. İşte birçok yapısal problem nedeniyle ayakta kalma mücadelesi veren yerel basının ne düzeyde ilgi gördüğü ve takip edildiği bu çalışmanın ana sorunsalı niteliğindedir. Bu bağlamda çalışma, Konya örneğinde yerel basına üniversite öğrencilerinin bakış açılarını ölçme amacına yönelik olarak tasarlanmıştır. Saha araştırması yöntemiyle Necmettin Erbakan Üniversitesi’nde lisans düzeyinde öğrenim gören 373 öğrenciye anket tekniği uygulanarak elde edilen araştırmanın bulgularına bakıldığında, üniversite gençlerinin yerel basını oldukça düşük bir düzeyde takip ettiği görülmektedir. Araştırmanın önemli bulgularından bir tanesi de gençlerin, yaşadıkları yöreye dair gelişmeleri yerel gazetelerden daha çok yerel televizyonlardan ve internetten takip etmeleridir.

This article aims to explore the adaptation of local newspapers in the context of socio-economy and politics. Local newspapers are local organizations that have passed the experience with the local society for a long time, and they also relate to the literacy rate of the local people. So, this study focuses on the sender and the reader in the city in the first place. The adaptation of local history reflects the fluidity of information in many ways. This study also explores the connection between the mass media and local politics. The survival of some local media outlets seems not to show respect for to the professional ethics of the mass media as the professional firm. The rapid changes in society, news, and information challenge local newspapers. News can be accessed from central media sources in Bangkok, and new media technology draws
readers away from newspapers in favor of computers or mobile phone screens. Some media have adapted but some have not. Moreover, some media outlet owners decide to retire and close their media outlets./

Ce chapitre a pour objectif de caractériser un type de presse particulière dont la reconnaissance symbolique dans le contexte français est inversement proportionnelle à son importance sociale : la Presse Quotidienne Régionale. Notre positionnement se propose de renouveler les approches fonctionnalistes qui tentaient de la définir par le rôle qu’elle jouait dans les sociétés locales en s’attachant à examiner la co-construction qu’elle développe avec les territoires infra-nationaux. Méthodologiquement il s’est agi d’articuler une étude généalogique de la presse locale et régionale avec une analyse de son mode de fonctionnement contemporain. Deux axes sont alors apparus : l’aide à la structuration d’un territoire d’action et de vie quotidienne grâce au développement des informations au service des lecteurs mais aussi des sources  et l’aide à l’élaboration d’un territoire de représentation politique, en référence à un cadre national, par l’intermédiaire d’un enchâssement territorial. Les évolutions contemporaines tant du point de vue de l’importance grandissante des pouvoirs locaux que des changements socio-économiques dans la prise en charge des différents types d’informations par de nouveaux groupes médiatiques remettent cependant en cause le fonctionnement de ces deux axes et questionnent le positionnement de la PQR.

A pesquisa em torno dos media de proximidade, sejam eles de âmbito regional, local, hiperlocal ou até comuni tário, tem suscitado um interesse crescente nos anos mais recentes, por parte da comunidade académica. Após um período de discursos em torno da globalização, poten ciados pelo desenvolvimento tecnológico, mas sobretudo pelo aparecimento da Internet, a tendência agora parecer ser a de apelar a um retorno ao local. Na essência deste retorno está o reconhecimento da importância de (re)visi tar territórios e comunidades e (re)descobrir identidades. Para tal é preciso parar, olhar e voltar a olhar, dialogar, conhecer. Estudos de carater mais qualitativo, como os de cariz etnográfico, são importantes contributos para esse processo. Tal como o antropólogo que vai (con)viver com determinada tribo indígena, para assim a conhecer e compreender, também o cientista da comunicação e o jornalista têm que estar preparados para apreender o que é diferente. Só assim se pode interpretar aquilo que se julga conhecer, por vezes através de imagens contruídas em cima de informações desatualizadas ou até estereotipadas. De entre os media referidos, há uns que parecem começar a despertar ainda mais o interesse: os comunitários. Falamos de meios que se constroem e realizam de e para determinada comunidade. Seja ela a que constitui determinado espaço geográfico, como por exemplo um bairro, ou congregue um grupo de interesses, isto é, pessoas que se interessam por determinado(s) tema(s). Outras características deste tipo de meios são o fato de serem constituídos por voluntários, provenientes de diferentes áreas (não raras as vezes afastadas do jornalismo ou até da comunicação), que se reúnem para colaborar e sem fins comerciais. Temos, assim, media de proximidade que não se constituem como profissionais e não estão comprometidos com o jornalismo. Une-os o objetivo de informar a comunidade, de forma desinteressada e colo cando em prol do bem comum o saber de cada um. Num recente artigo, preparatório da conferência de ministros com responsabilidade no setor dos media e promovido pelo Conselho Europeu, “Media Literacy for All: Supporting marginalised groups through community media”, os Estados-membro são aconselhados a debruçar-se sobre este tipo de meios, olhando para eles como possíveis potenciadores da literacia mediática. Embora não sejam tão falados ou estudados, não podemos deixar de registar este fato, reforçando a importância de o tema ser colocado na agenda científica. Em Portugal, esta área do saber, nomeadamente dos media regionais, tem tido na Universidade da Beira Interior (UBI) um importante impulsionador. “Media, Cidadania e Proximidade” (2005-2008), “Agenda dos Cidadãos: jornalismo e participação cívica nos media portugueses” (2010-2013) e “Re/media.Lab – Laboratório e Incubadora de Media Regionais” (2018-2021) são três projetos de investigação que o exemplificam. Mobilizaram, durante estes períodos, quase meio milhão de euros na contratação de investigadores, preparação e publicação de artigos, livros, ensaios, projetos de doutoramento e de mestrado, vindo inclusivamente a concretizar-se na criação de unidades curriculares e instrumentos de formação inovadores e especializados. A UBI, através do Departamento de Comunicação e Artes e da unidade de investigação LabCom – Comunicação e Artes, foi solidificando este percurso, que ganhou especial realce no início da segunda década do milénio e que atualmente se concretiza no foco sobre três domínios fundamentais: a. A procura de novas narrativas, com base na convicção fundada que as transformações implicam necessariamente a busca de novas gramáticas e um olhar experimental e laboratorial sobre o conceito de “narrativa”. A interatividade e a multimedialidade não são conceitos abstratos nem realidades adquiridas. Continuam a ser um esforço contínuo que carecem de forte investimento no equilíbrio e miscigenação entre dimensões materiais (escrita, sonora, visual, espacial) em que as histórias jornalísticas são hoje relatadas. O texto, o espaço, o som, a fotografia e o vídeo carecem de novas simbioses que são necessariamente estimuladas pelas exigências constantes de mobilidade. b. A utilização de novas tecnologias não pode ser abstraída da primeira dimensão (narrativa) tendo ainda de contemplar soluções que tenham em conta a formação dos autores, dos públicos e dos utilizadores. c. Os modelos de negócio não se traduzem numa mera preocupação mercadológica fechada em si, mas implicam novos conceitos de público, de audiência, bem como da sua participação. Exigem novos olhares sobre o significado de mercado e da sua função social, para além da criação de novos públicos. Estes três percursos são enfrentados em domínios diversificados que apelam ao contributo de áreas como as ciências da comunicação, a psicologia da cognição, as ciências da informação e da computação, as artes (design e cinema), as ciências sociais e da cultura. No LabCom, confluem muitos destes olhares, existindo a convicção forte de que o contributo interdisciplinar é fundamental para o aprofundamento dos media regionais. Uma segunda convicção consiste na ideia de que os media regionais, locais e de proximidade, se não são “o futuro do jornalismo”, contêm pelo menos, uma porção maior desse futuro. Por outro lado, o posicionamento desta unidade de investigação, tornam-na um lugar de excelência para os estudos sobre media regionais, comunitários e de proximidade. O livro que aqui trazemos, é o resultado do percurso atrás referido e dinamizado pelo Re/media.Lab, mais concretamente o que resultou na Local Media Fal{l} School (19-21 de setembro de 2019, UBI). Com um evento tradicional da Covilhã a decorrer em simultâneo – Festival da Cherovia – esta iniciativa constituiu-se como um ponto de encontro de jornalistas, estudantes e investigadores, que articulou reflexão conjunta, convívio, diversão, diversidade, vivacidade, cidade e universidade. Momentos para (re)visitar lugares, comunidades, tradições, identidade(s). Nas próximas páginas deste livro poderá encontrar uma pequena parte deste acontecimento, isto é, os estudos que ali foram apresentados e que aqui são publicados. É mais um tijolo num edifício que se constrói em torno da pesquisa e experimentação, relacionadas com os media de proximidade.

Our study tries to understand the phenomenon of Entrapment, which is an outcome of (a)
security discourses that prioritize pre-emptive community strategies; (b) the ongoing military
initiative of the Global War of Terror (GWOT); and (c) and the increased budgetary convergence
of state agencies of the National Security Agency (NSA), the Federal Bureau of Investigation
(FBI), and the military, impacting the legal and court processes that indict “homegrown”
terrorists. We offer a critical discourse analysis of the events that led to the arrest and trial of
Mohamed Osman Mohamud, covered in local newspapers The Oregonian and The Willamette
Week, after he was held for the intent to use a weapon of mass destruction during a customary
Christmas tree-lighting ceremony in downtown Portland, Oregon on November 26, 2010. The
press and defense lawyers call this a case of FBI entrapment. Entrapments pose a serious threat
to community peace and to contemporary understandings of multiculturalism. The coverage of
Mohamud’s story does not create a critical shift in the tenor of public debate, which harshly
judges any event that has overtones of an act of terror. Our high alert status regarding domestic
terrorism, post 9/11, does not allow us, as the consumers of media, to act as a fair and
compassionate jury, nor does it instill within us the alarm that might otherwise surround a
judicial system that sentences race-d youth of little means to maximum life imprisonment.

This study explores U.S. newspapers’ online readership in the local market by comparing (1) “hybrid” readers who access both the print and online versions and (2) online-only readers. Survey data gathered from twenty-eight newspaper sites show that hybrid readers outnumber online-only users by a 2-to-1 margin and use their local newspaper sites more actively. Regression analyses identify predictors of site satisfaction and user type. These findings provide new perspectives on the nature of multiplatform news consumption as readers weigh related goods of news and information.

Local journalism in the UK has been described as being in “crisis”. Local newspapers have experienced years of declining circulations and staff cuts, leading to questions about how effectively those institutions can continue to perform normative functions of journalism. One of those is to report on the courts. Through analysis of 22 semi-structured interviews with local newspaper reporters who cover the courts beat, agency court reporters who supply the local press, as well as broadcast journalists involved in both local and national court coverage, this paper helps to establish how the daily newswork of court journalists has developed amid a turbulent period in journalism, especially local journalism. The research finds that court reporting has been less affected than other news beats but faces a series of challenges related to financial cuts and other pressures. While the local press has become even more essential to the provision of court reporting, a central part of the news media’s fourth estate role, those challenges affect the ability of court reporters to perform this function. This paper recommends that policymakers consider using a form of public funding to guarantee the future of court reporting at the local level.

There have been many studies on the Voortrekker Centenary of 1938 and the unforeseen consequences it had, including the subsequent surge of Afrikaner nationalism and political developments. As the wagons moved across South Africa, the processions infused Afrikaners with pride in their heroic past. Afrikaner nationalism, the ideology that focused on protecting Afrikaner culture, the striving to regain an independent republic and, importantly, affirmation that they were God's chosen people, were rekindled. The event also generated a widespread sense of connection. It was not only Afrikaners who were swept up in the euphoria of the celebrations, but also many non-Afrikaners were emotionally affected by the event.

The tourism sector is one of the most important sectors showing rapid growth and developing. The tourism sector, which has economic, social, cultural and political values, is one of the most important agents especially for the development and promotion of the countries. Destinations with tourist attractions attract a lot of tourists and have a good image and brand value by increasing their awareness both in national and international area. Situated in Turkey's natural, historical and cultural richness that has a great importance in terms of Kuşadaşı also it shows the favorable climate and geographical features with the distinction of being one of the important destinations in terms of tourism. Moreover, it is one of the important tourism attraction points in terms of religious tourism because of its close proximity to holy places, especially Virgin Mary's House. While the local press in the region's publishing activities reflects the perspective of the people of the region towards tourism activities, it also brings the quality of the destinations to the forefront. In this research, two local newspapers operating in Kuşadası with circulation exceeding one another and published every other day and every fifteen days were examined in order to see the events of the tourism movement. The content analysis of the tourism news in the newspapers was done and the results were obtained by taking the news content and taking into consideration both the nature of the tourism mobility and the public view of the tourists in this mobility framework

Britain’s wartime reconstruction plans are considered rightly to be a key milestone in the development of British planning. While some have received a good deal of academic attention others, such as Manchester’s 1945 Plan have been largely overlooked despite receiving high praise at the time as a ‘stupendous feat’. The research here is informed by Henri Lefebvre’s theories regarding the nature of urban space in which a historical perspective is seen as paramount for understanding issues of urban planning and redevelopment.  Archival sources form the principal basis for the empirical research. The paper argues for the importance of placing the Plan in the context of the 20th century modernist planning discourse. A comprehensive, rigorous analysis of the Plan’s production, reception and implementation is presented. The implications for the city generally and the Castlefield area are explored in detail. Through critical investigation the Plan is revealed to have been constituted in part by an influential collection of visual and textual representations of city space. These representations left complex and at times surprising positive and negative legacies. The Plan is seen to have stimulated a notable physical reconfiguration and inhibited the shift to a post industrial reimagining of the city.

Hatay ili tarih boyunca sayısız medeniyetlere beşik olmuş ve
özellikle Antakya ve İskenderun ilçeleriyle, ticari boyutuyla, sosyo
politik anlamda varlığını her zaman anımsatmış bir yapı olarak çok
etnili, çok dinli ve çok kültürlü özelliği ile araştırmacıların yoğun
ilgisini çekmiştir. Bu çalışma Hatay İli’nin sırasıyla “İskenderun
Sancağı”, “Bağımsız Hatay Devleti” ve “Hatay İli” olma süreçlerinde
yerel basının özellikle de yerel gazetelerin ekonomik ve politik anlamda
multi-etnili bir yapı içinde dönüşümlerini ve devinimlerini
eleştirel kuramlar çerçevesinde arşivsel, yazın (literatür) taraması,
yüz yüze ve derinlemesine görüşme, içerik çözümleme yöntemleri
ile “etnisite bağlamında” eleştirel/değişimci yaklaşım ile irdelemektedir.

Abstract: As the cradle of numerous civilizations and as a socio-
political entity which has left its mark on history with its multi-
ethnic, multi-religious, and multicultural constitution, as well as
its commercial aspect, the Province of Hatay, and in particular the
districts of Antakya and İskenderun, has always been the centre of
attention for researchers. This study investigates the transformation
and progression of the local press, and especially the local newspapers,
within an economically and politically multi-ethnic structure
that has witnessed the evolution of Hatay through the stages of
Sanjak of Alexandretta (İskenderun), the Hatay State, and finally
the Province of Hatay of Turkish Republic. The study is conducted
within a critical theory perspective, incorporating a literature
review, face-to-face and in-depth interviews, content analysis and
critical theoretical approaches. Following the statement made by
Albert Camus in 1944, which declared that the press is free when
it is not dependent on the power of state and money, the reflection
of this approach on the local context of Hatay has been investigated.
Especially due to its geopolitical importance for the history of
Turkish Republic, the Province of Hatay is significant as a province
with many local newspapers. Keywords: Local Newspapers, Local
Media, Hatay, Antioch-on-the-Orontes, Ethnicity, Critical Theory/
Approach.

This paper examines the content of four local Latvian newspapers in order to find out how the media construct the environment of four inhabited places — Mazsalaca, Kandava, Krāslava, and Ķemeri. The analysis of newspapers “Liesma,” “Neatkarīgās Tukuma ziņas,” “Ezerzeme” and “Jūrmalas vārds” show that during the last six months of 2017, the most prominent themes that describe local landscapes were nature and ecology, agriculture, social environment, people, surroundings, and events, belonging and identity and borders. While the newspapers differ in the attention they pay to some themes, the dominating meanings attached to the places they cover share similarities. The newspapers acknowledge the social and economic challenges of the places they cover, but at the same time, they emphasize what they interpret as unique qualities of the place, such as nature, people, and cultural heritage. Thus, the analysis shows how media, through negotiating and enforcing meanings of physical environments, take part in shaping local landscapes, which emerge as culturally grounded symbolic expressions held by the involved social groups.

Resumo: Este trabalho objetiva definir características relativas ao jornalismo impresso, de maneira a contribuir com a sustentação teórica de pesquisas que vêm sendo realizadas em torno de jornais com ênfase no local e/ou regional, ou dirigidos a comunidades específicas. Observou-se que algumas características apresentadas para a mídia como um todo não são apropriadas para o estudo da imprensa local, bem como existem outras, próprias a este segmento, juntamente com especificidades relativas aos seus conteúdos e às suas práticas.

Abstract: This work intends to indicate characteristics of press journalism to contribute with a theoretical research support that is being done with emphasis in local, regional or specific community newspapers..Some characteristics which have been introduced to the whole media are not appropriated for the study of local media. There are others that belong to this segment, in addition to specificities related to the contents and practices.

This paper argues that there was no national press in the 19th century, as we understand the term ‘national’ today (the category was not used by contemporaries). Some London publications such as radical unstamped newspapers, popular Sunday papers, the Illustrated London News and The Times could be described as national – however, they had an incomplete geographical reach, were read by small minorities and only carried news of certain areas of the country. In contrast, if we consider the provincial press as one system rather than a collection of isolated publications, it was a national press. There are good reasons for treating it as a system – that is how advertisers, publishers and journalists saw it; it functioned as a system, with personnel, content, business and editorial innovations moving freely around a national network of local papers. Further, local matter (editorial and advertising) usually constituted a minority of the content of the local press - these newspapers carried considerable Parliamentary and foreign news, plus stories from across the British Isles (gathered directly or indirectly from other local papers) and national advertisements. Syndicated fiction, features, leader columns and London letters, press agency material, pre-printed ‘insides', chains of local papers and non-resident editors all cast doubt on the notion of ‘local’ papers. The historiography of 19th-century newspapers acknowledges all these matters, alongside the far greater numbers of provincial papers; yet the implications have not been pursued: that the local press as a system was more integrated into the everyday lives of individuals and communities than metropolitan publications, and that its wider circulation and greater relevance to readers meant that it probably had more influence than the London press. It therefore deserves much more study.

Small-market newspapers can’t do it alone. Other important stakeholders have, and already play, a significant role in this space. But what more can be done? And how might some of these efforts be recalibrated?

Below we offer a number of specialist recommendations aimed at three key constituents: funders, journalism schools and researchers.

For each group, we identify five actionable recommendations based on insights from interviewees, examples of existing activity and our own analysis. We hope that these suggestions will stimulate discussion and we look forward to your thoughts and opinions on our ideas.

This  article  describes  how local  media  in the smallest  province  of Canada socially constructed the arrival of Hungarian refugees on Prince Edward Island (PEI), Canada from 1956-1957. This article addresses the role which the
media has in the social construction of refugees, as well as sheds light on the niche topic of refugee migration to Prince Edward Island in the late 1950s. From an analysis  of newspaper articles from The Guardian (PEI) it was found that
during 1956-1957 Hungarian refugees were positively received on Prince Edward Island  because  they  were  anti-soviet  political  symbols.  This  political  factor,
coupled  with  their  perceived  ability  to  contribute  to  the  Island’s  economy, encouraged their positive reception. The article argues that using newspapers as a primary source in a historical study of immigration can uncover both explicit and implicit attitudes with regards to communication, culture, and society.

The daily newspaper in North America has long been a locally based medium that offers an opportunity for media geographers to explore concepts of place and locality. I explore how newspapers create a sense of place about the locality they serve. I review some of the major geographic theories of place and the local and also the work of communications scholars on how newspapers construct reality in their pages. I apply these ideas to the notion that newspapers construct a sense of place using both the form and the ...

Family historians can spend a lot of time at their
computer looking into the depths of the resources of
the Trove database at the National Library of Australia.
The database is a rich resource of material that can
absorb hundreds of hours searching newspapers,
journals, articles, books, maps, websites, photographs,
and a host ofother resources.
One of the most useful archives within the Thove database
is the collection of digitised newspapers. There are
currently 1,377 newspaper titles on the database from
across Australia and Papua New Guinea, with 462 from
NSW: One of the most interesting parts of this archive
is the host of small country newspapers from towns and
villages across Australia. They were published from the
colonial period to the mid-twentieth century as a mixture
of weeklies, bi-weeklies, tri-weeklies and dailies.

The dominant debate surrounding the legacy local and regional newspaper industry in the UK is one of terminal decline – prompted by the existential threat to advertising revenues which have provided profit for titles since the mid-19 th century. This threat is also used justify the corporate response to falling revenues of cost-cutting and closure. However, this paper suggests this 'mini-max' strategy is underwritten by a collective amnesia which besets the industry. This approach leaves normative conceptions, including finding profit in advertising, unchallenged so industry becomes entrenched in a way of working which limits alternative responses (Cestino and Matthews 2016). An historical approach to the local newspaper as a distinct media form, though, conceptualises the current crisis-hit advertising-led model as an epoch, rather than an end. This facilitates a deeper engagement with the route by which the corporate newspaper arrived at the point it finds itself at today, and an appreciation of the strategic responses and which might provide an alternative to the corporate model which dominates the UK landscape. Together these enable us to dare to imagine a future for those legacy titles.

Det råder ingen tvekan om att papperstidningen successivt har tappat i betydelse sedan det tidiga 1990-talet, både när det gäller upplaga och regelbunden läsning. Samtidigt har studier visat att den del av befolkningen som fortfarande väljer att konsumera tryckta tidningar, då i synnerhet morgontidningar på papper, uppvisar ett något större intresse för dess innehåll jämfört med det generella intresset under 1980-respektive 1990-talet (Andersson & Weibull, 2013). I följande artikel läggs fokus på frågan om hur användningen av dagspress på olika plattformar ser ut i den svenska befolkningen. Vilka grupper är det som framför allt väljer att ta del av nyheter via papperstidningen och vilka är det som föredrar att ta del dagspressens innehåll via dator, mobil och surfplatta? Och skiljer sig valet åt beroende på om det handlar om morgontidningar respektive kvällstidningar? Vidare granskas också vilken inställning människor har till dagspress och lokala nyheter med avseende på områden såsom funktion och innehåll. Nedåt för pappersläsningen – uppåt för digital läsning

Newspapers are workhorse of local news industry and this information is important in order to have an informed citizenry. But, the conventional wisdom is that newspapers are an endangered species and that something drastic needs to be done if this form of media is going to survive. Many proactive solutions have been forwarded such as charging for online content, using tablet and smartphone technology to publish newspapers and making newspapers more assessable to younger and more diverse generations. Another more conceding solution is to allow for greater relaxation on newspapers mergers and cross media ownership rules. But, this solution would be another irreversible step in the deregulation and conglomeration of the
communication industries. This paper argues that allowing more consolidation is a poor solution to answer the newspaper industry’s problem because, though it serves the economic interest of the corporate owners, it further injures the public’s interest in the free flow of information, media access, diversity of opinions and localism in coverage of public affairs. Using the FCC studies from its 2010 Quadrennial Review, this paper illustrates that internet and television journalism has yet to adequately replace traditional print journalism as the bastion of local news. The paper also argues that federal agencies charged with regulating media ownership should apply a new public interest standard that truly forwards the principles of competition, diversity and localism. These guidelines should empower agencies to begin to actively review the effects that the media deregulation of the last twenty years has had on the
free marketplace of ideas.

A research passion of mine for some time has been the local newspapers of the Macarthur region on Sydney’s
southwestern urban fringe. As part of this work I have recently had published in Media History (UK) an article
called ‘Local Newspapers and a Regional Setting in New South Wales: Parochialism, Mythmaking and Identity’.
(doi.org/10.1080/13688804.2020.1833710).
The article explores the role and history of local newspapers in the three New South Wales market towns of Campbelltown,
Camden and Picton that made up the Macarthur region.
The local press lionised pioneer settler stories, and the most important of these were the exploits and activities of
the New South Wales Corps officer Captain John Macarthur.

This paper focuses on how the work produced by journalists in the Pacific Northwest, and the newsrooms they inhabit, is developing to meet the realities of the journalism industry in 2019.

This study examines the policy question, what levels of government should address the market failures relating to public affairs coverage and accountability journalism at the local level? The toolbox of possible policy interventions is a known quantity, but existing research has not established at what level of government those policies may have the most impact, and where the civic need for information policy intervention is greatest. This requires an examination of the gap between the optimal level of accountability coverage and the coverage produced. While it is not possible to do a full cost-benefit analysis, we must examine the difference between the coverage that is produced and that which is the socially optimal amount. Which stories go untold? This study examines four communities at the periphery of the Raleigh-Durham media market: Mebane, Siler City, Apex, and Garner, employing a multi-phase qualitative analytical process to form hypotheses about which community characteristics and related factors contribute to a gap between the current level of local accountability news coverage and the ideal level, in an economic sense. The first phase is site selection, using descriptive statistics that include socioeconomics, population, and distance from Raleigh (center of the local media market). The second phase involves asking officials with an insider's view of relevant issues provides insight into what that level of coverage would be, how it compares to the level produced, and how the answers to those questions differ according to community characteristics. The third phase is an assessment of information provision using stakeholder interviews, analysis of available media, and relevant public policies. The study finds that in communities at the periphery of the media market: broadcast and metro outlets fail to provide consistent coverage of municipal and local affairs; weekly print newspapers are the main sources of local news; information exchange and debate between stakeholders tends to be informal; blogs and other digital media are virtually non-existent and do not provide significant outlet for news or public debate; and media outlets have little interest in online media, though public officials show an interest in improving their governments' websites. The most significant issues facing a community can and should be drilled down to specific topics that relate to specific places, people, and decisions facing local government. The narrative thread of any given topic extends from the community's past into a set of connected decisions in the present day, and it becomes increasingly complex the more bodies of governmental jurisdiction are involved. That context is what enables a reader to understand the decision from multiple points of view and to investigate further, should he or she desire to do so. Quantitative analysis of news coverage should provide metrics that establish some sense of depth and quality as well as quantity of stories in various outlets. Those measures of quality could be used as an outcome variable, while community characteristic could serve as independent variables. Based on the findings in this paper, the most relevant independent variables would likely pertain to population size, distance from the center of the media market, educational attainment, household income, and the percentage of residents who speak Spanish at home. The preliminary hypothesis of this study is that such analysis would find lower quantity and quality of local news coverage in municipalities with lower educational attainment, lower income, further distance from the center of the market, and higher percentage of Spanish speakers.
