Radio Show Examines Local Web News

A new BBC radio programme is to investigate how regional newspapers are changing in the wake of the digital revolution.

Read All About It is a two-part feature which will discuss whether the internet and multimedia reporting styles are changing the relationship between the local press and its readers.

The Radio 4 programme includes interviews with editors from a number of regional titles and also comprises a visit to a newsroom in Manchester to look at developments in the working lives of journalists.

Forming part of the station’s series of programmes on Britain’s Newspaper Industry, Read All About It will be broadcast on Thursday November 8th and 15th at 8pm.
