Local media and local communities
Speaker: Dr Ágnes Gulyás, Canterbury Christ Church University
What are the roles and importance of local media in their community? How has the subject area been studied? How are the internet and online platforms impacting on the relationship between local communities and their local media? What is local news in the digital age? – These are the key questions for this talk, which will provide a review and (meta) analysis of the relevant literature outlining the key areas of concerns, main approaches and gaps in the field. As an important topic in the literature the talk will explore more closely how local media are changing in the digital age and the key issues regarding the impact of internet and online platforms on how local communities communicate and how information are mediated for them. Findings of an empirical study on local news and communication in the digital age carried out by the presenter and Sarah O’Hara will be presented to illustrate particular points.
Dr Ágnes Gulyás is a Reader in Digital Transformations in the School of Media, Art and Design. She is the co-director of the Centre for Research on Communities and Cultures, CCCU and teaching on the Media and Communications, Multimedia Journalism and MA by Research programmes and supervises PhD students in the School. Ágnes’ research interests include digital transformations, social media, communities, media organisations and industries and journalism.

Organisational Culture and its Influence on Regional Media
Speaker: Sarah O’Hara (Canterbury Christ Church University)
My research seeks to understand organisational culture within local newspaper organisations and to consider how cultural beliefs shape strategic decisions. It argues that an organisation’s culture shapes its day-to-day management and future digital strategies. Key findings from the research are that micro cultures within an organisation and the ownership model shape its culture; affecting the adoption of new working practices and the cohesiveness of corporate vision. The notion of what is local news is changing; both in terms of the type of news reported and the way reporting formats are used.
Sarah O’Hara has spent the last twenty years working in all areas of the media and communications industry both in the UK and overseas. I have practical industry experience in media, advertising and public relations and have worked for media organisations, agencies and within client companies. She is currently completing her Masters by Research looking at the impact of the digital transformation in media with a focus on regional media in Kent.
