Google Preview: Missing from the ongoing conversation about the titanic forces reshaping national journalism is the meaning of daily professional journalism in communities where the majority of Americans live. Edgar Simpson spent a year intimately engaged with all the news streams available in two Midwest counties-one where a daily newspaper had closed and one where a daily newspaper continues to operate-to better understand and illuminate national news trends and translate them to specific communities. News, Public Affairs, and the Public Sphere in a Digital Nation: Rise of the Audience outlines the clear implications for representative democracy in the face of a daily professional journalism in retreat. If the U.S. system is to thrive, more resources at the community level must be marshaled to support journalism. Further, citizens will have to become increasingly sophisticated in understanding the type of content they are consuming and, more importantly, what information they are not consuming. This book not only puts the problems in stark terms but offers unique, community-based solutions.; Introduction Chapter 1: Rise of the Audience Chapter 2: The Shifting News Landscape Chapter 3: Pixels, Posts, and Producers Chapter 4: Building Their Own Narrative Chapter 5: The Mean Sphere and the Empty Sphere Chapter 6: #chardonshooting: The Inverted Sphere Chapter 7: Citizens and Journalism Chapter 8: Journalism; Google Preview content
