Description
Summary:The article discusses the creation and operation of district periodicals in the Arkhangelsk Oblast. The author analyzed their role in solving problems in different periods and evaluated the place of the “district” in the relations of the state and local authorities.

The way out of this situation is the creation of mu-nicipal newspapers.
