How are media start-ups transforming the way journalists engage with their local communities and what role is deliberation playing? A new media outlet, recently launched in Leicester in the UK, has been engaging and consulting its community from the start.

Can it provide the news and information locals are asking for while supporting social cohesion in a diverse city that has recently experienced tensions between communities? Unrest broke out in the city in September 2022 following tensions involving mainly young men from Muslim and Hindu communities. In the latest MEDIADELCOM podcast, we talk to Rhys Everquill, Editor of The Great Central Gazette, who explains the role of deliberation and diversity in his paper’s future.

He’s joined by Nick Carter, former editor of the Leicester Mercury, who explores the challenges facing regional journalism and the need for a sustainable model to secure its future.
