Criteria For Community Journalism
One way to measure the degree to which news outlets reveal community structure is the following list: Media outlet content provides
- Communities with contact information for community leaders, officials, experts, and community organizations.
- Information from community leaders, officials, experts, and community organizations that is usable and relevant to community members.
- Information on community services and institutions.
- Information so that communities understand how to use services and institutions.
- Information on clubs and organizations.
- Information that helps communities understand how to get involved with local or relevant clubs and organizations.
- Information that helps communities take advantage of local or relevant events and festivities.

“The Hacker Ethic: Access to computers—and anything which might teach you something about the way the world works—should be unlimited and total.
Always yield to the Hands-On Imperative!
All information should be free.
Mistrust authority—promote decentralization.
Hackers should be judged by their hacking, not bogus criteria such as degrees, age, race, or position.
You can create art and beauty on a computer.
Computers can change your life for the better.”
—Steven Levy, U.S. writer. Hackers, ch. 2, “The Hacker Ethic,” pp. 27-33, Anchor Press, Doubleday (1984)
“I do not mean to imply that the good old days were perfect. But the institutions and structure—the web—of society needed reform, not demolition. To have cut the institutional and community strands without replacing them with new ones proved to be a form of abuse to one generation and to the next. For so many Americans, the tragedy was not in dreaming that life could be better; the tragedy was that the dreaming ended.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
“In America the President reigns for four years, and Journalism governs for ever and ever.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
