The dramatic events of 2020-the presidential election, the COVID-19
pandemic, protests for racial justice-affected every corner of
American life. What did these events mean for the residents of
small towns and cities that are often overlooked by national
newspapers? How do local stories change when they are told by
journalists with roots in these communities? And what is lost as
this kind of coverage disappears? American Deadline brings together
dispatches from four longtime local journalists in different parts
of the United States that tell the story of 2020 anew. It shares
reporting from Bowling Green, Virginia; Macon, Georgia; McKeesport,
Pennsylvania; and McAllen, Texas-two towns that lost their local
newspapers and two where they are barely hanging on. The authors
consider what makes each town distinctive and how these local
perspectives tell a part of a broader American story. This book
reports on how residents of these towns grapple with and talk about
issues relating to race, schooling, health, immigration,
deindustrialization, as well as local and national politics amid a
changing and increasingly precarious information ecosystem. A
distinct and intimate look at a calamitous year, American Deadline
is an important book for all readers interested in the
possibilities and future of local journalism.
