"This book explores the margins of journalism, the peripheral journalists and media organisations who have been overlooked in our efforts to understand a changing journalistic field. Seeing local journalists as unmapped agents of the journalistic field, the book provides a comprehensive study of local journalism in the post-socialist, post-transitional Czech media system, and conceptualizes these actors as unique agents within the journalistic field. Informed by Pierre Bourdieu's field theory, it adopts an inductive approach, presenting the stories of specific journalists derived from interviews and participant observation in the places where they work, alongside surveys of local newspapers. From these studies, it systematically maps these peripheral, journalistic actors, their positions in the journalistic field, accounting for their relationships and the trends shaping Czech journalism to give voice to those who are not usually heard - journalists on the margins"--
