Community journalism is usually defined as journalism by papers--usually weeklies--with circulations of under 50,000 that focus on service to their particular communities. Public or civic
journalism is usually defined as journalism that strives to provide readers with what they need to
be responsible citizens. As Jock Lauterer makes clear in chapter 19 of Community Journalism,
there is a strong overlap between these two types of journalism. In this course, we will explore
and examine the relationships between these two types of journalism through reading,
discussion, and practice.

Abstract: Community journalism is usually defined as journalism by papers--usually weeklies--with circulations of under 50,000 that focus on service to their particular communities. Public or civic
journalism is usually defined as journalism that strives to provide readers with what they need to
be responsible citizens. As Jock Lauterer makes clear in chapter 19 of Community Journalism,
there is a strong overlap between these two types of journalism. In this course, we will explore
and examine the relationships between these two types of journalism through reading,
