News of an upcoming Media Society event. Although billed as "a topical debate", it is one that could have been held at any time in recent years and is likely to be as relevant in years to come: Is local journalism dead?
The panel will include Local World's chief executive, Steve Auckland, the former ITN chief and now journalism professor, Richard Tait, and the media analyst Claire Enders. I'll be in the chair.
It is being staged to mark the launch of the second, updated edition of the book What do we mean by local? The rise and fall of local journalism, edited by John Mair and Richard Lance Keeble with Neil Fowler.
Supported by the Financial Times, the debate on Thursday 10 October kicks off at 6.30pm at the Adam Street club, just off The Strand, and is set to end at 8pm.
