community journalism

Community journalism refers to news reporting that focuses specifically on local issues, events, and the interests of a particular community. It often involves local residents working together to share stories, concerns, and successes that may not be covered by larger media outlets. This form of journalism emphasizes engagement, participation, and grassroots reporting, allowing communities to have a voice in the news that affects them. Community journalists may work for small newspapers, online platforms, or even through social media, often fostering a deeper connection between the media and the people it serves.
