My research focuses on local and community media, specifically internet era independent community-based digital operations. This encompasses research into the escalating problem of news deserts and extends to local media archiving. I also include 21st century non-normative approaches such as positive and solutions or constructive journalism. These approaches are frequently evidenced in independent operations.
