Notes:
230 pages., Documents ready-print services (sometimes known as patent insides)that furnished newspapers printed on one side, or on two or more pages, to subscribing publishers. Estimated in 1912 to reach 60 million readers in the U.S. Author explores what was being written in those newspapers, and by whom.
Posted at http://www.nieman.harvard.edu/reports/07-4NRwinter/p53-curley.html, Editor explains how memories of how local newspapers served his family in rural Kansas helped him and his associates create hyperlocal news coverage for the Washington Post newspaper. "The nature of local journalism has not changed significantly in many years."
16 pages., via online journal., Case study examined the efforts of a rural hyperlocal outlet to adapt community traditions as engagement interventions by reimagining "society columns" as community contributors -- and using "liars tables" as listening circles. Findings show promising signs by making the processes of journalism more participatory, allowing residents to represent and share their own stories and cover a wider range of stories that are not exclusively negative. The "liars table" concept "has a steeper road ahead."
