community journalism
Local news coverage
Community journalism is news coverage focused on a specific local area—a neighborhood, town, or small city—rather than regional or national audiences.
It emphasizes local government, school boards, civic events, and human-interest stories that larger outlets ignore.
Community journalism appears in weekly newspapers, hyperlocal websites, and public access broadcasts: The community journalism program trains students to cover city council meetings.
