Further Research

While the publication has been active for five years, additional research is needed to survey and examine the long term impact of the co-op model and its use of community engagement tools. Further research, in particular both an extensive qualitative and quantitative research study is needed to look at how other news organizations are using community engagement and whether its implementation helps to build a stronger relationship with an audience or the public it serves.
