Most of the public and academic debate over the media in Britain
focuses on the national state-of-play - as a result, the local
media are marginalised or ignored all-together. The second edition
of What Do We mean By Local? (edited by John Mair and Richard Lance
Keeble with Neil Fowler) tackles that problem head-on: both
analysing and celebrating the local media - in its historical,
national and international contexts - with all its extraordinary
diversity and current dilemmas. Bringing together the work of top
academics and journalists, it amounts to the most comprehensive
survey of local media in the UK ever published. A number of
contributors highlight the rise of hyperlocals across the country.
Could the industry be on the cusp of a revival? Former Guardian
editor Peter Preston focuses on the role newspapers still hold
within local communities; David Baines deconstructs the industry's
narrative of victimisation while New York University academic Jay
Rosen provides a US perspective, arguing for a '100 per cent
solution for innovation in the news'. In addition, this edition of
What Do We Mean By Local? incorporates many new and many updated
chapters: They include: Matthew Engel painting a colourful picture
of his life and times in the industry 'D Notice' Secretary Andrew
Vallance on the highs and lows of editing a parish magazine David
Banks, former tabloid editor, on the pleasures of editing a free
e-paper with 500 subscribers Other contributors are: Andrew
Adamson, Marc Astley, Simon Bucks, Ian Carter, Jim Chisholm, Barnie
