Ever since completing my PhD in 2000, based on ethnographic field work and interviews with journalists, I've always been passionate about doing research which illuminates the lived experience of the professionals who make journalism happen. For the past five years, I've turned my attention to the work of community journalists. Sometimes referred to as “hyperlocal” journalists, these practitioners have launched news outlets in local communities (Harte, Howell, & Williams, 2018). They provide an invaluable service, particularly in the light of widespread closures of local newspapers. I had planned an ambitious project focused on traveling around the UK to interview community journalists about their work. My aim was to carry out at least 30 face-to-face interviews in the spring and summer of 2020.

Zoom 访谈研究的启示：新的亲密关系和积极倾听

自从 2000 年完成我的博士学位以来，基于人种学实地工作和对记者的采访，我一直热衷于做研究，以阐明使新闻业发生的专业人士的生活经历。在过去的五年里，我把注意力转向了社区记者的工作。这些从业者有时被称为“超本地”记者，他们在当地社区开设了新闻媒体（Harte、Howell 和 Williams，2018 年）。他们提供了无价的服务，尤其是在当地报纸普遍关闭的情况下。我计划了一个雄心勃勃的项目，重点是在英国周游，采访社区记者关于他们的工作。我的目标是在 2020 年春夏进行至少 30 次面对面的采访。
