It suggests three thematic ways of understanding the role of the legacy local newspaper in a post-digital environment, namely as an information provider, commercial entity and community champion. While much scholarship talks of their demise, this book argues for a more nuanced understanding of the local newspaper and its continued significance to people, places and commercial interests. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eLocal Journalism\u003c\/i\u003e will benefit students, academics and researchers in the areas of journalism, media studies and sociology.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRachel Matthews is \u003c\/b\u003eAssociate Director in the Institute of Creative Cultures at Coventry University, England.
