EDITORIAL NOTE
COMMUNITY JOURNALISM
​Putting people at the center of the news


BY isabelle mercado y lina mariscal
​


​Sol de Medianoche constantly talks with different organizations and community leaders in search of problem-solving approaches and to optimally channel benefits and programs to the community it represents. For the past 4 years, this bilingual newspaper has worked with many organizations that care about communicating with the Latino community in their own language, providing important local information to help them integrate better to the community.

With a wide variety of topics, Sol de Medianoche is published monthly in Anchorage and is distributed in those cities with the highest concentration of Latinos. Over time, people who recognize the importance and benefits of staying informed, communicating, and raising their voices, have merged with this publication and together they produce what is known as community journalism.

Community journalism covers the need to be kept informed in a more personalized way. It is an opportunity to empower communities, increase diversity, offer greater context of news and also bring more human stories, as people are usually at the center of the news.
​
A special value and characteristic of community journalism is ethics, truthfulness in what is offered to readers. The risks of having so many options with information today, is that it could come from unknown sources or be of dubious origin and/or be presented in a very sensationalized way.
It is important to note that community journalism does not have a geographical limit, because of the internet and social networks, countless people can be reached and issues that concern everyone as a society can be addressed.

Currently, the challenges facing community journalism range from the disapproval of other media, especially the larger ones, the new dynamics (public and private information, copyright infringement, etc.), information systematization, new technologies and the budget issue, as advertising is the main source of income of big media and advertisers often put little interest in local media.

Because of the uncertain times that we now live and the growing need to keep us all informed, Sol de Medianoche makes a call to the community to subscribe to our newspaper and help sustain bilingual community journalism in Alaska.
