Andrew Conte, founder the Center for Media Innovation at Point Park University, discusses the demise of local newspapers with local public television host Chris Moore.
Conte is the author of the book, Death of the Daily News, that explores what happens when citizens are left with little access to reliable local journalism.
The obituary for local news does not have to read all bad though, argues Conte. Even in the bleakest places, citizens are taking charge of their communities and becoming gatekeepers to information for the people around them. His book is an important examination of what happens after a local newspaper dies while simultaneously providing guidance for a way forward.
