Seminar
Think globally, report locally
Worldwide challenges and media trends in local journalism
Local news is critical to building and maintaining democracy but local news coverage across the world is declining. Well informed citizens are essential for self-governing on a local and national level. How are local communities affected if local journalism is suffering? Without robust local news, citizens will not have the information they need for their everyday lives about their community’s institutions, schools, businesses and neighbors. Newspapers and other trustworthy media outlets are crucial for communicating global issues such as climate change and its local consequences.
