Local news organizations are facing threats in multiple parts of the world, but is the trend irreversible? Two prominent researchers will dive into the economic, technological and sociological drivers of the collapse of local news across the US and Europe and will share some of the latest findings. From disappearing newsrooms to digital disruption, they’ll examine the trends driving the erosion of local reporting, while highlighting areas of innovation and resilience that offer hope for the future. Are we seeing new models that can reverse this decline? Journalists from thriving local news organizations around the world will share their stories of resilience and reinvention.

Before arriving at Oxford, Richard was a Junior Research Fellow in the Department of Journalism at City University London.
