Charting the media innovations landscape for regional and rural newspapers
Summary. This paper develops a framework for understanding media innovation in rural Australian newspapers. Rather than pursuing a narrow 'digital first' strategy, the authors propose a six-dimensional approach that integrates digital, social, cultural, political, economic, and environmental concerns. They argue that rural news organizations should prioritize building resilience and relevance for their communities and environments, not just organizational survival.
