Introduction:Perspectives on the local newspaper
Get PDFThe established business model of the local newspaper uses the editorial focus on a circulation area to reinforce a sense of market identity which constitutes readers as an audience for advertisers. The role of the local newspaper in communicating information is the one most strongly associated with political and civic processes at a sub-national level. Taking account of the variables, our understanding of the local newspaper is largely organised around three primary roles-each of which is shaped by the particular context it inhabits. These are, firstly, as a purveyor of information; secondly, as a commercial market product designed to generate revenue; and thirdly, as a social facilitator in relation to community building. In the future, a more fundamental shift in the value placed on the social role of the local newspaper may well be necessary to ensure its continued global survival.</p

'Community, the public good and the market: the crisis in Ireland’s local newspaper industry'
No full textIreland’s financial crisis in 2008 marks a dividing line in the recent history of the country’s local newspaper industry. In the Celtic Tiger boom years of the early- to mid-2000s, the industry reflected the wider Irish economy in generating unprecedented wealth. Circulations were steady but advertising revenues were buoyant, and local titles – which, often, had been independent and family-owned for generations – were sold to group publishers for premium prices. Since the crash, however, the industry has shown few signs of recovery, with trading conditions deteriorating further during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Group ownership of local titles has been recast as a commercial survival strategy. This was illustrated clearly in the late-2010s, when two of the country’s largest national publishers, The Irish Times DAC and Independent News and Media (now Mediahuis Ireland), sought regulatory approval for mergers with small local publishers.
In both cases, the regulatory process prioritised local news as a for-profit informational commodity, despite evidence of entrenched market failures in the sector.
The chapter argues that, as the market for local publishing continues to weaken, current regulatory approaches to mergers are no longer appropriate, and need to be refocused on protecting the public good significance and sustainability of local journalism
