Popular perceptions of the local press in Britain centre around
images of newspapers printed on old-fashioned machinery, filled
with reports of courts, councils, fetes and jumble sales, and the
births, marriages and deaths of local citizens. Bob Franklin and
Dave Murphy argue that this perception is long out-of-date. With
almost 1800 titles, including paid and free, morning, evening and
weekly newspapers, the local press is a highly significant
component both in local media networks and in the context of the
British press as a whole. Many papers combine substantial
circulation figures with high levels of advertising revenue and are
likely to be the single most important source of news for many
households in the area. And the local press can provide a
relatively open and pluralistic forum for political debate. "What
News?" examines recent developments which have radically altered
many aspects of the organization, production and content of the
local press, such as the rapid growth of free newspapers and the
introduction and application of new printing technology. This book
should be of interest to students and teachers of media and
communication studies.
