It suggests three thematic ways of understanding the role of the legacy local newspaper in a post-digital environment, namely as an information provider, commercial entity and community champion. While much scholarship talks of their demise, this book argues for a more nuanced understanding of the local newspaper and its continued significance to people, places and commercial interests. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eLocal Journalism\u003c\/i\u003e will benefit students, academics and researchers in the areas of journalism, media studies and sociology.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rachel Matthews\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 113836634X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138366343\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/13\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.50d","brand":"Rachel Matthews","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44449983987967,"sku":"9781138366343","price":48.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2f3bf717-2e5e-4ea6-9315-d6b8a9b07ecf.jpg?v=1698502111","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/local-journalism-rachel-matthews-9781138366343","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
