Community journalism in the era of clickbait A chilling, incisive,
and firsthand look at the landscape of community news today, Lost
Storytellers argues that the decline of local journalism threatens
the future of democracy. Award-winning photojournalist John
Pendygraft asks: How did Americans lose trust in the media, and how
can their local newsrooms earn it back? Pendygraft uses his own
experiences at Florida's largest newspaper, the Tampa Bay Times, to
illustrate why trusted local reporting matters more than ever in
the era of "fake news," clickbait, conspiracy theories, and social
media. Through interviews with his colleagues, the history of his
own beloved paper, journeys into the evolutionary psychology of
storytelling, and examples of the ways multi-national media
conglomerates hook readers on news cycles of chaos and crisis,
Pendygraft argues that community journalists can reclaim their
roles as local storytellers-and that the public good demands that
they try. Lost Storytellers offers insights for all who feel
confused about the media, politics, and the well-being of their
communities in the information age.
