In the wake of the withdrawal of commercial journalism from local
communities at the beginning of the 21st century, Hyperlocal
Journalism critically explores the development of citizen-led
community news operations. The book draws together a wide range of
original research by way of case studies, interviews, and industry
and policy analysis, to give a complete view of what is happening
to communities as their local newspapers close or go into decline
to be replaced by emerging forms of digital news provision. This
study takes the United Kingdom as its focus but its findings speak
to common issues found in local media systems in other Western
democracies. The authors investigate who is producing hyperlocal
news and why, as well as production practices, models of community
and participatory journalism, and the economics of hyperlocal
operations. Looking holistically at hyperlocal news, Hyperlocal
Journalism paints a vivid picture of citizens creating their own
news services via social media and on free blogging platforms to
hold power to account, redress negative reputational geographies,
and to tell everyday stories of community life. The book also
raises key questions about the sustainability of such endeavours in
the face of optimism from commentators and policy-makers.
