Description: "Group citizen journalism is emerging in local communities as mainstream media reduces its reporting ranks. This book describes how community group journalism operates at adult and youth levels. An intimate, inside look at the internal workings of three pioneering publications--that started in 1996, 1998 and 2003--reflects the satisfaction and energizing effect of being able to publish widely without the benefit of a printing press"--Publisher's website.
