Abstract
Results indicate that the three local newspapers do, with several notable exceptions, embrace the criticized traditional news gathering practices, that local residents express dissatisfaction with their local newspapers on several counts, that reader dissatisfaction is linked to the institutional practices of the press, that these press practices serve hegemonic ends, that (sometimes dramatic) social change nevertheless does occur in the community, and that change is facilitated both through some media practices and through channels of communication outside the bounds of the press.
