Description
Drawing on a political economy framework, Salahi examines the power dynamics between media, academia, and the public. She shows how these partnerships emerged as a strategic response to the collapse of community news ecosystems.
Grounded in case studies, research, and her own practical experience, Salahi offers a nuanced analysis of how these collaborations work. She demonstrates how they supplement dwindling local news coverage, bridge gaps in civic information, andserve as vital training grounds for aspiring journalists. At the same time, she does not she away from its challenges. Salahi also exposes the economic, technological, and ethical tensions that can challenge the long-term sustainability of these efforts.
Ultimately, Salahi argues that news–academic partnerships are more than temporary fixes. They are transformative experiments with the potential to revitalize community-centered journalism, strengthen democracy, and empower the next generation of
storytellers.
