Description: Here is a Closer-Range, on-target and in-depth look at community journalism - journalism as it is practiced at the grass roots. With over 8,000 community newspapers in this country, most journalism graduates, no matter what their goals, will find their first jobs on small newspapers. This book captures what the experience is like, as well as how to make the most of it.

Community Journalism is based on Jock Lauterer's practical experience as an owner/publisher/entrepreneur/community journalist and on his current perspective as a journalism educator. This is a user-friendly text and workbook for students studying community journalism as well as "a survival manual/field guide/handbook for those already out there in the trenches." In a conversational, opinionated and good-humored style, Lauterer affirms the enterprise and the calling of community journalists.
