Being local — community, context and connections — is a superpower

As Big Tech platforms and artificial intelligence (AI) continue to disrupt the news media industry, newspapers possess a competitive advantage that tech giants simply cannot replicate: their deep roots in the communities they serve. New research suggests that local newspapers continue to earn readers’ trust across generations, including Millennials. In his October “The Newspaper Perspective” op-ed, Dean Ridings explains why being local is journalism’s superpower and offers practical advice for publishers looking to strengthen community connections, build trust and remind audiences and advertisers of their unique value.

News media grapples with declining obits revenue

Obituaries have long been a reliable revenue stream for newspapers and an important connection to the communities they serve. But as families increasingly turn to funeral-home websites, social media and other digital alternatives, publishers are seeing that business decline. Can newspapers reclaim their place in this changing market? In this E&P Quick Read, Taayoo Murray examines new research on obituary revenue, the competitive challenges publishers face and innovative approaches to preserving a valuable business, a historical record and an enduring community tradition.

Reporters Shield covered the newsroom’s legal defense fees, helping preserve resources for further reporting. Delfi won in the first court instance, according to Roonemaa, but the appeal remains pending and the investigation remains online.
