Is SoCal’s Inland Empire the land of the local news mirage? While news outlets cover the region, media observers say some elements of the IE’s local news coverage are a mirage, giving residents the illusion of vigorous local journalism when in fact, that coverage is absent. Thomas Corrigan is a communications professor at Cal State University San Bernardino and coordinator of the university’s Local Journalism Partnership Initiative. In this episode of SoCal Voices, Corrigan talks about his work examining news coverage in the Inland Empire, and the changes he believes are needed to ensure quality journalism thrives in the region.
