Abstract:This article explores intersections between the local press, class periodicals, and local government by examining local government periodicals. This specialist genre balanced the trade press's generic "news you can use" with participatory forms of the New Journalism. By publishing advice columns, local government reports, multi-part series on local government law, and locally sourced fiction and poetry, local government periodicals offered a print sphere in which citizens and local officers could debate and shape governmental practices. I argue that through such participatory reader networks local government periodicals strove to transform Britain's hodgepodge of governing institutions into a politically representative, nationally standardized network of local authorities.

新闻参与式政府：阶级期刊和地方国家，1880-1914

摘要：本文通过考察地方政府期刊，探讨地方报刊、阶级期刊和地方政府之间的交集。这种专业类型平衡了行业新闻的通用“您可以使用的新闻”与新新闻的参与形式。通过出版建议专栏、地方政府报告、关于地方政府法律的多部分系列以及本地来源的小说和诗歌，地方政府期刊提供了一个印刷领域，公民和地方官员可以在其中辩论和塑造政府行为。我认为，通过这种参与性的读者网络，地方政府期刊努力将英国管理机构的大杂烩转变为具有政治代表性、全国标准化的地方当局网络。
