| Summary/Abstract |
The UK's local press is in a mess. Cut back to the bare bones after years of consolidation and cost‐cutting, hundreds of titles have closed, while many of those that survive are pale imitations of what they were. Revenues have been savaged by the internet and social media, while some in the industry have pointed fingers at council newspapers. But while there are signs of life and innovation in the industry, from newcomers as well as established players, finding funding is an urgent challenge.
