This handbook shows how a community newspaper can be organized and published.
Abstract:
The rise of the community press is both a reflection of current trends toward greater grass roots participation and an indication of the failure of the local press to respond to local opinion and take an active role in local affairs. The community paper is not usually attempting to compete with the local paper, but to fulfil a differeing, and more relevant, role.
The handbook shows how a community newspaper can be organised and published; it draws on the experience of a range of papers with varying aims and formats. It is meant as an encouragement to others to initiate new projects, as well as providing detailed information on a relatively new tool of community communication.
