Not Since Gutenberg: How Community Journalism Has Changed in 25 Years
Not since Gutenber and the invention of the printing press has there been a time of change like journalism has experienced in the past quarter century -- the internet, social media and a deeply partisan divide have all changed the landscape even for local newspapers. How that affects journalists -- and readers -- is a conversation we need to have, urgently.
