As easy as it is these days to hope that a couple of well-placed tweets complete with a six-word quote will suffice… That said, twas the power of Twitter that led me to said piece. So thanks [...]
It would be nice to think that certain people – when asked to appear before a House Of Commons select committee on the future of local media – arrived knowing what they were talking about.

As both regular readers of this blog will know, the whereabouts of this nation’s local planning applications has long been a subject dear to OutWithABang’s heart.
There were, for example, 17 million plus reasons why the Newspaper Society might be wary of any in-coming Tory administration…

“What the problem needs above all is some innovative, quick thinking on behalf of government,” were the words of Bob Satchwell, of the Society Of Editors. His impatience, you suspect, not helped by the game of musical [...]

I don’t really know the guy from Adam, other than he seems from his profile to be a smart guy.
His name is Aral – or rather, @Aral – and tonight he could be found waxing lyrical about the launch of the new Apple iPhone 3GS… in a lot less than 140 characters as his excitement [...]
