Regional newspapers around the globe are fighting to survive in the
face of challenges to their economic model, due to the constant
influx of new technology. At the same time, while studies of the
national press have created a continuous narrative on the
newspaper, the history of the regional press has been subject to
relatively little academic scrutiny, despite being a significant
industry in terms of a readership, circulation and profit. By
focusing on provincial English newspapers, Matthews makes the case
for the larger issue of the future of local newspapers worldwide.
She argues that a comprehensive approach to the history of the
regional press can result in a conceptualization of the industry in
terms of the shift in emphasis between the key elements of state
control, ownership, social influence and production techniques.
They can be categorized into six distinct stages: the local
newspaper as opportunistic creation; the characterization of the
local newspaper as fourth estate; the impact of New Journalism; the
growth of chain control, the shock of the free paper and new
technology and finally, the current picture, the search for a new
business model.
