It examines the local, regional and nations media landscape in selected locations around the UK through a series of case studies conducted in spring 2009. We place these case studies within a wider context by the inclusion of maps and table showing the availability of different local media across the UK. 1.2 Given the heterogeneity and complexity of the local and regional media landscape across the UK it is not possible to carry out a detailed analysis of the local and regional media landscape in all locations throughout the UK. We have therefore based our approach around case studies in eight locations to present an indicative view as to the local media landscape in different parts of the UK. The locations were selected to provide a range of population sizes and included a location in each of the nations.
