Based on interviews with 57 community journalists in the UK and an online survey (n = 116), this chapter focuses on how community journalists adapted their professional practices and their roles in the community during the coronavirus lockdown. The closure of non-essential businesses led to a drop in local advertising revenues, while lockdown made the distribution of print newspapers more difficult or impossible. Although many outlets saw an increase in online audience figures, those that publish print editions were faced with logistical challenges that often halted publication or required dramatic shifts in practices. At the same time, many outlets changed the focus of their coverage, sharing positive stories about community initiatives and offering community-based solutions to citizens in need. The pandemic represented a profound rupture across all elements of journalistic practice, from reporting, to printing and distribution. However, community journalism outlets, because of their small size and agility, were able to adapt to the challenges and, in many cases, emerged stronger as a result. © 2022 selection and editorial matter, David Harte and Rachel Matthews individual chapters, the contributors.","PeriodicalId":210374,"journal":{"name":"Reappraising Local and Community News in the UK","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128371787","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Heawood","doi":"10.4324/9781003173144-3","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4324/9781003173144-3","url":null,"abstract":"This chapter offers a critique of UK Government policy towards the news publishing industry, with particular reference to the All in, all together campaign, launched in April 2020. The COVID-19 lockdown exacerbated structural trends within the news publishing industry: advertising revenues collapsed, distribution of print newspapers was suspended and thousands of journalists’ jobs were jeopardised. In response, publishers, civil society organisations, unions, and academics called on the Government to bail out the industry and act on the findings of the 2019 Cairncross Review of Public Interest News, which had recommended long-term investment in digital innovation and local reporting. Instead, the Government launched an advertising campaign, All in, all together, channelling up to £35 million to publishers in return for promoting government messages in the form of display advertisements and sponsored content. The funding provided was only available to print newspaper publishers, and the scheme disproportionately favoured corporate publishers and excluded independent publishers. The chapter argues that while government support for public interest news is essential, this support must be designed and delivered independently to mitigate the risk of any real or perceived conflict of interests. © 2022 selection and editorial matter, David Harte and Rachel Matthews individual chapters, the contributors.","PeriodicalId":210374,"journal":{"name":"Reappraising Local and Community News in the UK","volume":"212 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134446633","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
