Between 2016-17, his first project for Tow (with Dr. Christopher Ali), “Local News in a Digital World: Small Market Newspapers in an Era of Digital Disruption,” examined how small market newspapers in the United States are responding to the shift to digital technology in everything from editorial content to distribution to advertising.

In 2019-20, Damian will be revisiting parts of this research to update the story and provide a comparative analysis of the changing experience of working at local newspapers in the United States.
