History
Community journalism got its name from a Montana editor, Ken Byerly, while he was a professor of journalism at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill 1957-71. Although the term is relatively new, Community journalism has been around since the founding fathers. He gave it its name because the concept had been referred to as “Hometown Newspapers,” which didn’t fit the suburban newspapers in that time. He chose community journalism because it fit both the weeklies and small dailies of the day.
