Definition(s)

  • Public journalism is a movement within journalism that aims to reconnect news institutions to public and civic life and local community. Also known as “civic journalism,” it began with a series of experiments in local newspapers in the late 1980s and eventually spread to more than a fifth of all U.S. newspapers (as well as some public and commercial television and radio stations) before beginning to fade as a self-conscious movement around 2002.
