The concept of 'News deserts' is primarily concerned with :

  • A.Areas with abundant, diverse news coverage
  • B.Regions with limited or no access to local news
  • C.Urban areas with high concentration of news outlets
  • D.The impact of climate change on news reporting

Answer: B

News deserts are regions with limited or no access to local news.

The term, popularised by research at the University of North Carolina, describes communities that have lost their local newspaper or never had credible local reporting, leaving residents without coverage of local government, courts and schools.

It is the opposite of areas with abundant, diverse coverage or a high concentration of outlets, and it is about the absence of local journalism, not the effect of climate change on reporting.
