ABSTRACT
This chapter presents the second case study — a community-driven hyperlocal journalism project in Queensland called Change Makers. This project was initiated followed ongoing stereotyping and stigmatising by mainstream media directed at a low socio-economic community. The start-up was developed to tell authentic local stories, focussed on the students of a high school. The chapter not only explores participatory models of newsgathering and news production but also explores the relationship between slow and participatory journalism and hyperlocal journalism. The chapter explains how a new taxonomy of news values was piloted in the hyperlocal project.
