● 주제: The experiences of local journalists in the coronavirus pandemic

● 초록: The coronavirus pandemic has represented a profound challenge for journalism around the world. On thee hand, the provision of trustworthy and timely information has become more important than ever. On the other hand, the pandemic brought with it major challenges to established routines of reporting and distributing the news. Against this backdrop, my presentation offers insights from research with local journalists in the UK. It focuses the experiences of community journalists in the pandemic. Community journalists, sometimes known as hyperlocal journalists, run small, independently owned print orline publications. They represent a specific geographic area and publish locally relevant news. My research, funded by a grant from the British Academy, included 57 in-depth interviews carried out in the summer of 2020, along with a survey of 116 practitioners completed in April 2021. The presentation focuses the logistical and financial challenges faced by these local journalists, and how they overcame them. In addition to restrictions movement as a result of lockdowns, these included a near-total collapse of local advertising revenue, the closure of printers, and the loss of local distribution facilities. However, the majority of the journalists reported an increase in audience engagement, while some benefited from grant funding. Across the board, journalists saw the pandemic as a critical moment highlighting the importance of local news.

● 기획 의도
코로나19은 스페인독감 이후 100년만에 찾아온 가장 큰 규모의 팬데믹 (세계적 대유행)으로서 현재 인류가 직면하고 있는 최대의 위기이다.
스페인 독감 국면에서 Science는 1919년 The lessons of the pandemic을 출판한 바 있고 2020년 Nature에서는 사회과학의 대가들이 모여 작성한 Using social and behavioral science to support COVID-19 pandemic response라는 논문을 출판한 바 있다.
그렇다면 과연 코로나19 위기를 극복하는 데 있어서 커뮤니케이션학은 어떠한 해답을 제시할 수 있을까? 이를 함께 고민하고자 열린 논의의 장을 마련하고자 한다.
