Changing Times Nancy Fielder, editor of The Star and Sheffield Telegraph, writes about the role of newspapers today. Times have changed dramatically for local newspapers in recent years, and they continue to change at great speed. People are reading more news and expect it more quickly than ever before. That means editorial teams have had to drastically change the way they work to keep up with new platforms and the evolving demands of readers. What hasn’t changed is the trust The Star has created with its communities over more than a century and the influence it holds in the city. We always endeavor to use that to good effect – fighting to improve Sheffield, celebrating the many great things and people while always pushing for more. During the last 18 months we have worked hard to reconnect with communities across Sheffield and make their voices heard through the pages of The Star. We have changed the way our news team works to create more time for reporters to get back to basics, getting out of the office and talking to people. We have a community focus in a different neighbourhood every Friday, a weekly feature on one of the city’s many voluntary groups and, during term time, devote two pages of Wednesday’s Star to a school. We campaign on everything from stopping litter and graffiti to shining a spotlight on things Made In Sheffield. Newspapers are often accused of focusing on bad news so we deliberately hunt out positive stories and try to give a balanced view. Even when awful things happen in our neighbourhoods we go out and speak to residents in order to give a more accurate picture. Reporters are expected to do more tasks and be more skilled than ever before. When covering a breaking story they are expected to give continual updates on the website and across several social media platforms, as well as steaming live video, taking photos – and writing a story for the print edition of the newspaper. However they are also able to access feedback on stories like never before. We can instantly see which online stories are the most popular and get comments from readers, often including witnesses who would have previously been very difficult or impossible to trace. Sheffield newspapers now reach more people than ever but in a wider range of ways. We will be moving offices in the new year, leaving our base in York Street for the first time in The Star’s 130 year history. That reflects just how much has changed since the title was launched. The printing press moved to Dinnington more than a decade ago and the editorial team is much smaller than ever before. The challenges are new but our commitment to improve how people feel about Sheffield remains the same. If you have a suggestion or story for The Star please do get in touch.
