One of the great things about working with Talk About Local is meeting so many enthusiastic, knowledgeable and passionate people who run hyperlocal websites and blogs.
Over the next couple of weeks, I’ll share some of those stories on the TAL blog and I’ll link to them here as well.
The first one I published today looks at the work of Annette Albert in the W14 postcode area of London. She reports from and campaigns for that area tirelessly but doesn’t consider what she does to be journalism.
2. Creating a village in Caldmore – how the Caldmore Village Festival team re-invented an area of Walsall.
3. Trumpeting the success of The Crickdale Bugle - some of the daily dilemmas faced by a one-man band publisher in Wiltshire.
4. Creating a living archive in Wolverton – the challenges for volunteers in sorting, understanding, digitising and archiving donated community material.
5. Shining a light on the democratic process in Kington – how a dispute over Christmas lights ended up shaping the make-up of a council.
