Print and Digital UK Public Local News Datasets Triangulation and Analysis 2023

This dataset contains several spreadsheets within which four public datasets of print and digital local news outlets in the UK (JICREG, ABC, PINF, and MRC) are triangulated and combined. In addition, the observations from these four datasets have been manually verified to flag obsolete observations. This helped generate a novel, powerful list of print and digital local news outlets (this can be found in sheet "Stage 2 - clean df with enhancements" and includes any observations marked as 1 under the "Baseline" column). The script where manipulation of these datasets occur can be found here: https://github.com/simonabisiani/Local-News-Datasets-Triangulation. The dataset was used to carry out research which resulted in the following journal article: https://www.mdpi.com/2673-5172/4/4/77.
