\n| Multiplatform<\/td>\n | National Directory of Ethnic Media<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n Stage 2: Supplement Directory Data with Manual Search<\/strong><\/p>\nIn order to supplement the data gathered from the directories described above, the second stage of data gathering involved a manual search for relevant journalistic sources. Following the approach employed by Ramos, et al. (2013), this process involved keyword searches via search engine and then visiting those sites produced by the search queries to identify links to other relevant sources. Further, those sites that were linked to by the original site were subsequently examined to determine whether they contained links to any additional relevant sites. Keyword searches employed the name of the town, county, and region, along with associated media terms such as \u201cnews,\u201d \u201cblog,\u201d \u201cradio,\u201d \u201ctelevision.\u201d In addition, in instances in which a community is known by a particular nickname (e.g., \u201cBrick City\u201d for Newark), that terminology was employed in the search process as well.<\/p>\n Stage 3: Targeted Interviews with Community Members<\/strong><\/p>\nIn order to identify additional potential sources not identified by Stages 1 and 2, a final step involved integrating an approach employed by the New America Foundation case studies (see, e.g., Morgan, 2011), in which a limited number of targeted interviews were conducted with community members in positions to be well-informed about the journalistic sources serving the local community. Specifically, 3-5 interviews were conducted with individuals in the following categories: 1) local government; 2) local news media; 3) activist organizations; 4) ethnic community organizations. The Stage 3 interviews are meant to act as a confirmation of Stages 1 and 2 and to catch any local outlets that may not have been detected.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″][et_pb_sidebar admin_label=”Sidebar” orientation=”left” area=”et_pb_widget_area_4″ background_layout=”light” \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div> Appendix B: Search Protocol for Identifying Local Journalism Sources Stage 1: Consult Relevant Media Directories A number of print and online data sources are available to identify media outlets at the local level.
