What Works in Community News

Media Startups, News Deserts, and the Future of the Fourth Estate

By: Ellen Clegg,Dan Kennedy

A groundbreaking study of the journalism startups that are solving the local news crisis one community at a time A must-read for activists, entrepreneurs, and journalists who want to start local news outlets in their communities Local news is essential to democracy. Meaningful participation in civic life is impossible without it. However, local news is in crisis. According to one widely cited study, some 2,500 newspapers have closed over the last generation. And it is often marginalized communities of color who have been left without the day-to-day journalism they need to govern themselves in a democracy. Veteran journalists Ellen Clegg and Dan Kennedy cut through the pessimism surrounding this issue, showing readers that new, innovative journalism models are popping up across the country to fill news deserts and empower communities. What Works in Community News examines more than a dozen of these projects, including: Sahan Journal, a digital publication dedicated to reporting on Minnesota’s immigrant and refugee communities; MLK50: Justice Through Journalism, a nonprofit news outlet in Memphis, TN, focused on poverty, power, and public policy; New Haven Independent / WNHH / La Voz Hispana de Connecticut, a digital news project that expanded its reach in the New Haven community through radio and a Spanish-language partnership; Storm Lake Times Pilot, a print newspaper in rural Iowa innovating with a hybrid for-profit/nonprofit model; and Texas Tribune, once a pioneering upstart, now one of the most well-known—and successful—digital newsrooms in the country. Through a blend of on-the-ground reporting and interviews, Clegg and Kennedy show how these operations found seed money and support, and how they hired staff, forged their missions, and navigated challenges from the pandemic to police intimidation to stand as the last bastion of collective truth—and keep local news in local hands.

Experimenting with Emerging Media Platforms

Experimenting with Emerging Media Platforms

Field Testing the Future

By: Dan Pacheco

Experimenting with Emerging Media Platforms teaches students in media tracks – journalism, advertising, film, and public relations – how to independently field test and evaluate emerging technologies that could impact how media is produced, consumed, and monetized in the future. Taking a unique trial-and-error approach, the author encourages students to go against their desire for perfection and instead plunge into exercises with the full expectation that they will "fail" many times before they succeed. Through focused assignments, this book provides pointers on how to familiarize oneself with current technology, including extended reality (XR, VR, AR, and MR), open-source coding, photogrammetry, aerial imagery using drones, automation, and artificial intelligence. Readers are invited to create and test their own hypotheses and work outside of their comfort zones to reach conclusions on how a technology could enhance storytelling for a particular audience. Through experimentation guided by workbook exercises, case studies from students and media practitioners, practical tips, and reminders about ethical decision-making, students will learn how to work like explorers and civic hackers to enact change in the media landscape. Readers are invited to share their final field test results online through the book's companion website and social media channels, where the author will post links to further reading, coding templates for simple projects, and short video tutorials. Built around an established course being taught by the author and informed by over 20 years’ experience in media industries, Experimenting with Emerging Media Platforms is essential reading for aspiring media professionals and students undertaking courses such as Emerging Media, Media Innovation, and Media Startups. For additional resources, please see the companion website: www.emergingmediaplatforms.com.
