Exclusive Webinar: Creating Value for a Sustainable Future

Local journalism around the world is under growing pressure. Revenues are shifting, audience behaviour is evolving and the role of local news as a civic institution has never been more important.

But one question continues to shape conversations across the industry: What does sustainable local journalism actually look like in practice?

In this exclusive webinar we explored the key findings from our latest research report, The Local News Playbook, developed in partnership with the Knight Foundation.

Rather than simply restating the challenges facing the sector, this webinar will focus on what is working. Through real-world examples and practical frameworks, our expert panel will explore the organisational models, audience strategies and revenue approaches that are helping local news organisations strengthen resilience.

In this webinar, we explored:

Why community connection creates a structural advantage that drives trust and engagement
How local journalism delivers value that cannot be replicated by national or commoditised news
Why reader revenue signals relevance as much as it provides funding
What resilient local news organisations consistently get right, regardless of geography or business model
