            The Lol News Research Project combines content analysis and digital mapping to explore issues related to lol news. The project’s news poverty research examines lol coverage in nadian communities at a time when print and broadst outlets are sling back, consolidating or closing, and many online news sites are struggling to stay afloat. Project initiatives include The Lol News Map, a study of how lol media covered the 2015 federal election, and research on lol news reporting on disadvantaged neighbourhoods. Other research has examined the role of ethnic media in shaping newcomers’ sense of place and portrayals of diversity in ethnic newspapers published in the Greater Toronto Area.
