Showing results for "Community" in Politics & Government

Ever wonder how local news stories come to life? Matter of Fact goes beyond the headlines to show how community journalism works — and why it matters. Produced by the Roy Howard Community Journalism Center, which is supported by the Scripps Howard Foundation and The University of Southern Mississippi, each episode pulls back the curtain on storytelling — from first idea to final edit. Through candid conversations with reporters, editors and community members, we explore what it takes to tell stories that build trust, spark conversations and strengthen truth-based journalism.

Emily Mendenhall spoke with over 100 people and observed a community that rejected public health guidance, revealing deep-seated mistrust in outsiders and strong commitments to local thinking.

Sociologist Ruth Glass coined the term gentrification in the 1960s to mark the displacement of working-class residents in London neighborhoods by the professional classes.
