The influence of digital platforms on the local press: Facebook and the circulation of local information
La presse locale sous l’influence des plateformes numériques : l’influence de Facebook sur la circulation de l’information locale
Résumé
The local press is facing a decline in readership. However, hyperlocal information continues to circulate in regional areas. Through analysis of the different protagonists of local information (journalists, local press correspondents, associative actors, local politicians), we point out a loose link between regional areas and the local press. Examination of local information practices allows us to identify the logics of platformization currently at work at the local level.
