Table of ContentsReviewsCentres and Peripheries provides a timely and much-needed focus on the implications of digital technologies and cultural politics for that large and important segment of the journalism industry which is carried on away from the metropolitan mainstream. Incorporating original, empirically rich material, Hutchison and O'Donnell have put together an immensely valuable set of essays by practitioners and scholars. -Brian McNair, Professor of Journalism, Queensland University of Technology This book tells a story that everyone interested in public discourse should read. It takes the reader on a journey covering rich and varied examples of how big media sometimes override local media, and how local media in many cases adjust, adapt and also develop new ways forward. Books that are equally suited to inform practitioners, scholars and students alike on such important topics as the future of journalism are rare and precious. This is one of them. -Tom Moring, Professor of Communication and Journalism, University of Helsinki, Finland''As the title of this timely collection of essays suggests, there is a need to address the complex nature of media, political and cultural power in the context of centres and peripheries.[...]Hutchison, O'Donnell et al. have performed a valuable service in exploring the nuances and contours of these issues.
