We have just completed research on local news - and what journalists think of how it's going....We'll be discussing the results and ways forward in Nottingham on September 4th. Come join us if you work in/with local news. Dm us or email natalie.martin1@nottingham.ac.uk for a link to register. ends
Are you concerned about the future of local news and democracy? Are the shenanigans at Notts - and other - County Councils ringing alarm bells VERY loudly? At CMPCR we've been doing research in this area and have findings to report - spoiler: the situation is not all bad - but it is not good....m/f

Our research on local news is finished. In a nutshell - the good news is that local journalists have a vocation and love their job. But the bad news? They don't have enough time to do it as well as they would like. This has consequences for local democracy..........m/f
