OverviewThe local media - local newspapers and radio, regional television, cable television and local news on the internet - represents a diverse and rapidly-changing sector of the British media landscape. Making the Local News brings together media academics, local journalists and other media professionals to provide a comprehensive account of recent developments and future prospects for Britain's local newspapers, local media and local journalism. The rontributors consider the distinctive editorial format of local newspapers - daily and weekly papers, free newspapers, and the alternative press - and situate the local press in the context of local, national and multi-national media networks. They assess the news sources and other resources which are available to local journalists, from public relations organisations to local news agencies. Making the Local New considers issues for local journalism such as ownership, training, the impact of new technology, industrial relations, ethics and regulation, and includes case studies of local press reporting of the 1997 General Election, race relations and economic news.
