Budget constraints have left public sector media teams without the resources for robust citizen-facing communications. The 'nose for news' has been downgraded and local journalists, once the champions of public interest coverage, are a force much diminished. The book asks what is lost to local democracy as a result? And what does it mean when no one is holding the country's public spenders to account? The authors present extensive interviews with communications professionals working across different council authorities. These offer important insights into the challenges currently being faced by communicators within local public services. The book also includes in-depth case studies on the Grenfell Tower disaster, the Rotherham child-grooming scandal and Sheffield tree felling controversy. These events all raise serious questions about the scrutiny and accountability of local authorities and the important role the media can and does play. Local Democracy, Journalism and Public Relations provides new empirical data on, and the real-world views of, working communications teams in local government today. For students and researchers interested in local journalism and public relations, the book illuminates the current relationship between these professions, local democracy and political accountability"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Introduction to local government accountability and role of public relations and the media -- The history and evolution of local government and local democracy -- The rise of public relations and the impact of the austerity years -- Local media decline: a "sector in crisis"? -- Views from the foothills -- Today's newsroom: adapting to digital -- Case studies: Grenfell, child sex exploitation and Sheffield tree felling -- Summary and conclusions. 648 7 $a 2000-2099 $2 fast 650 0 $a Journalism, Regional $x Social aspects $z Great Britain. 650 0 $a Journalism, Regional $x Political aspects $z Great Britain. 650 0 $a Journalism and public relations $z Great Britain. 650 0 $a Local government $z Great Britain. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2009130055 650 0 $a Government accountability $z Great Britain. 650 0 $a Press and politics $z Great Britain $x History $y 21st century. 650 7 $a Government accountability. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01746414 650 7 $a Journalism and public relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01740685 650 7 $a Local government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01001300 650 7 $a Press and politics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01075866 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 700 1 $a Roxan, Adrian, $e author. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2019010044 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781351697309 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213022655.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F36CB3C61D7611EA83B92C1397128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
