DePauw University - Media Giraffe Profile

""Each of the case studies highlights the desire for substantive local journalism. What''s distinctive about each of the cases, then, is the unique ways in which the communities leveraged available resources to make a viable organization--one that responded not to the logic of the marketplace, but to the felt need of local populations. The crux here, then, is for communities to evaluate not only their needs, but their strengths -- the human, technical and social capital, if you will, of each locality in order to create a viable organization."
