The role and function of local journalism are evolving and so are its players: journalists, audience and publishers. Local journalism has a vital function not just as a source of information on what is going on in the neighborhood, but also as means for communities to connect and take action.
In this panel, we take a look at facts and figures of local journalism in Europe and the US. We get insights in best practices and innovative formats to keep local journalism a powerful tool for getting and staying in touch. Jointly, we discuss why local journalism has an impact to our everyday lives and what we will do about that.Organised in association with fjum.
