“…The importance hyperlocal media's community presence is traced by Wiard and Pereira (2019). Their work chronicled the output of different media sources of varying reach in the city of Brussels, concluding that the nature of the coverage of certain neighbourhoods or localities determines how audiences perceive those places, thus attributing meaning to those spaces.…”

The growth of hyperlocal media has rekindled the ecosystem of local media in recent years. An international phenomenon, it has already been the subject of much study in the academy, despite it being a recent occurrence. This article deals with the literature review of scientific articles published during the first decade of hyperlocal media research. The results show the keen interest that researchers had early on in this new media model, especially in the United States, United Kingdom, Sweden and Australia where it was studied more intensely. The works published from 2010 to 2020 exhibit an interest in the study of the transformation of the media ecosystem, the mapping and analysis of the characteristics of the media, their organizational and business models, as well as their informative production and the relationship with the audience.

“…I propose 'place-naming' (Gutsche, 2014;Wiard & Pereira, 2019) as the central practice in the formation of issue spatiality. That is, issue spatiality emerges through the localization of issues when public communication associates place-names and issues.…”

“…Content analysis can be connected to gazetteers and mapping approaches to understand how different sub-issues and narratives are spatialized. This may include quantitative coding, as carried out by Lindgren (2009) or Wiard and Pereira (2019). For larger text corpora, or if not enough is known about the discourse to deductively derive categories, inductive computational approaches such as topic modelling (Maier et al, 2018) are promising, especially in combination with more qualitative steps (Nelson, 2017).…”

Issue Spatiality: A Conceptual Framework for the Role of Space in Public Discourses

Public spheres research has traditionally sidestepped questions of space by focusing on a priori delineated political territories, most prominently national public spheres. While this approach has always lacked nuance, it has become acutely insufficient nowadays, as digital communication technologies easily enable a host of heterogeneous actors to draw public attention to spaces and places at any scale, and communicatively connect places anywhere in the world. This conceptual article argues that communication scholars need to reconsider the spaces embedded in the content of public discourses. Drawing on the notion of issue publics, it understands the public definition of issues as inextricably linked to the places that are communicatively associated with them, causing issue spaces to emerge. The issue space is constructed through place-naming whenever public actors reference places in the context of issues. The article develops issue spatiality as an analytical framework to understand the role of place and space in public discourse. It discusses how issue spatiality enables a better understanding of the increasingly complex scales of public communication, and outlines several dimensions of issue spatiality. Drawing on communication infrastructure literature, it proposes socio-spatial inequalities of communicative resources as important predictors of issue spatiality, along with the habits of professional communicators, and local problem properties. Gazetteers and mapping techniques are introduced as methodological interventions required for the empirical use of issue spatiality.

“…The route of the beat is also influenced by the distribution framework of the news organization, creating a news net (Fishman 1980;Tuchman 1978) around a given area or boundary that determines the geographic area of news coverage for a given community (Gutsche and Hess 2018b). This can create geographic bias and power differentials between and within news flow routes (Hess and Waller 2016;Mersey 2009), for example, when certain neighborhoods or communities are covered repeatedly whereas others may be completely neglected-they are not part of journalists' routes (Wiard and Henrique Pereira 2019). This kind of geographic bias has come under major scrutiny recently in light of the racial justice protests happening throughout the U.S, for example.…”

This paper presents a theoretical reframing of journalism as a fundamentally mobile practice and outlines a research agenda for studying the politics of mobility in journalism that is centered on the everyday work of journalists. Our reframing draws on geographer Tim Cresswell's work on the six components of a politics of mobility, which are motive force, speed, rhythm, route, experience, and friction (Cresswell, T. 2010. "Towards a Politics of Mobility." Environment and Planning D: Society and Space 28 (1): 17-31). Cresswell poses six key questions about mobility, and rephrasing them to to fit journalists, we get why do journalists move?; how fast do journalists move?; according to what rhythm do journalists move?; what route(s) do journalists take?; how do journalists feel when they move?; and what stops/impedes the movement of journalists? These questions entail a research framework concerned with the different conditions of movement for different bodies, thus drawing attention to previously understudied areas of journalism studies.
