Abstract
In the original language
This country report is focused on detecting challenges and opportunities for local and community media and identifying news deserts in Slovakia. It entails a holistic approach towards the concept of news desert, interpreting it as an area that is lacking sufficient, reliable and diverse information from trustworthy media sources. The risk for local and community media has been assessed through several indicators which are related to the number of media outlets, economic and political conditions, as well as degree of safety of local journalists and the social inclusiveness of local and community media towards minorities, marginalised communities and the capability of engaging with the audience.
