“We all need each other”: Rural journalists, collaboration, and the journalistic field
An emerging body of literature has documented a recent collaborative turn across the journalism industry. Given the current economic circumstances plaguing the field — conditions that are heightened in rural newsrooms — journalistic collaborations can be understood as an effort to maximize increasingly scarce resources. Despite this, there is limited scholarship exploring collaborative practices among rural journalists, in the United States or gl…
“Scooped by the Town Drunk”: Unpacking the Effects of Covid-19 on Rural Journalism Work
Journalists serving rural communities are crucial sources of information across the U.S.; they also face challenges and opportunities unlike those of their peers at large urban outlets. In this study, we take the COVID-19 pandemic as an opportunity to examine how these journalists define their group identities. We focus on local news creators to ask: How has COVID-19 influenced the identities of small-town and rural journalists in the U.S.? Using…
“A Hard Road With Personal Costs”: How Digital-First Nonprofit News Founders Navigate Precarity
As the journalism industry descends further into economic collapse, precarity has become an increasingly useful concept in studies of newswork. While a growing body of literature has begun to consider how founders of startup journalism outlets navigate their own precarious self-employment, the existing scholarship pays little attention to journalists working at digital-first nonprofit newsrooms. This study draws on a political economic framework …
Reimagining American public media: A key infrastructure for local journalism
As the state of U.S. local journalism continues to deteriorate, contributing to growing news deserts and the proliferation of mis- and disinformation, alternative models for sustaining local news are increasingly paramount. One such alternative to the failing commercial model that deserves more attention, we argue, is the American public media system. While less robust than its international counterparts, the U.S. public media system tends to be …
That s**t is Hard to Get Away from”: Working Alone in US Rural Journalism
What is Rural Journalism? Occupational Precarity and Social Cohesion in US Rural Journalism Epistemology
Given the recent focus on news poverty and gaps in local journalism, rural journalists would seem to have a challenging job. This study seeks to understand the novel experiences and challenges of journalists who cover rural communities and how they conceptualize their knowledge-building practices. Through the lens of journalistic epistemology, researchers conducted a two-step, in-depth interview procedure with rural US journalists (n = 61) to bet…
Everything Else is Public Relations” How Rural Journalists Draw the Boundary Between Journalism and Public Relations in Rural Communities
Rural journalists are news professionals, but also citizens engaged in their communities. The function and purpose of local journalism and public relations have become interdependent as media and communication has become more digital. These relationships create some tensions and it is in this environment that rural journalists make daily choices to cover a story or run prepared content provided by an outside source. Through the lens of boundary w…
Years of NPR: Collective Memory, Anniversary Journalism & Public Media
As “the first draft of history,” journalism is an essential agent of memory work. Although the relationship between the fields of memory studies and journalism studies has historically been underdeveloped, scholars in both disciplines have established productive and necessary connections between the two. One such connection is the area of anniversary journalism, or current news coverage of anniversaries of past events. Anniversary journalism is a…
