Hi, all.
In a recent exploration of the 2018 scholarship on community journalism, I stumbled upon this little gem titled, "Talking and thinking about community newspapers at "Radically Rural"" by Newspaper Research Journal's Editor Dane S. Claussen.
I was particularly drawn to it because of of the reference to weekly papers. The overall argument is that there is a need for more scholarship that focuses on the smaller, non-daily newspapers to be recognized/published/accepted by some of the more wider-scope journals, including Newspaper Research Journal (beyond Comnunity Journalism) -- which I know many of us are trying to do just that.
Here's the link to the text: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0739532918810736.

Although I'm a little concerned that with Dane's call, NRJ could suck up some of the research we crave for Community Journalism, I think putting research in this area more on the academic community's radar can only help. Now, with the April 1 deadline not far away, how can we surf off this newfound notoriety? :)
