We've heard a lot of positive things about the up-and-coming local community news project The Exeter Observer. Do support them if you're able - this kind of work is crucial in a world of centralised and defunded local news.

Great work from Taj Ali over at Tribune - this is both a powerful piece of worker advocacy and a useful summary of the desperate situation for UK local journalism.

Unfortunately, Mastodon won't let me share the pics of my stories in the paper atm, but once the issue is fixed, I'll post them here.

The age of newspapers has passed. But in Spartanburg, SC, we believe the age of local media is just beginning. We call it “News for a new age.”
Not just the news, though. New local media will support conversations among community members. It will include local social media (Hello, #fediverse!). and local data, maps, and a local wikipedia.
We’re calling it the “Sparkle City Media Hub.” Spartanburg residents can join us at https://spartanburg.social.

Better Media member Rob has done a lot of work parsing the recent policy plans released by the #BBC and #Ofcom (and what they haven't released) - his complaint to Ofcom is well worth a read for those interested in the uncertain future of #localradio

Great summary of the DCMS Sustainability of Local Journalism report here from Eliz Mizon - really interesting to read about The Bristol Cable's specific involvement and takeaways as well.

A bit late to this but as a subscriber to the St Michael's #Cosby & St Peter's #Whetstone #Leicestershire #Church Magazine, I am sad to see the end of its publication.
As the vicar writes 'So where do we go?' .
Local #media in all its forms is under threat.
This is important because local #journalism covers issues in our area and holds individuals, businesses and politicians to account.

Here are Stewart's words...
