Hyperlocal Journalism and Digital Disruptions by Scott Downman

Hyperlocal Journalism and Digital Disruption explores how the impact of digital changes on traditional journalism practices have increased the importance of new forms of localised reporting.

'There should be much more academic "hype" around hyperlocal news given the powerful insights it offers our understanding of journalism’s changing role in digital spacesDownman and Murray produce a refined, detailed account of several case studies to highlight the important role media at the local level can play in bringing people together – from those divided by family and neighbourhood feuds to bridging cultural, social and racial differences.'
- Kristy Hess, Senior Lecturer in Communication, Deakin University, Australia
