One tiny, little milesone on the streets of Lichfield this evening; perhaps we don’t all need to bow to our former masters, pay rent to our lords…

It has always been the little victories that mean so much more around here.
One happened tonight in the City of Lichfield.
Here it is… http://thelichfieldblog.co.uk/2010/03/18/council-leader-concerned-by-plans-for-new-rail-line-through-lichfield/
You have to scroll down to see it. But it’s the banner ad. For these boys… http://www.lichfieldpc.co.uk/
A computer shop in Lichfield.
Run, I believe, by a lad called Nick Brickett. Who, I suspect, [...]

A belated welcome to MyFootballWriter ‘Lite’ and a few more lessons learned en route to over-throwing the bureaucrats.

Apologies in advance; there may be several strands of thinking afoot here that might not actually contribute to a coherent whole.
Part of this post is designed to explain what we’ve done with www.myfootballwriter.com of late; part of it is designed to publicly thank both Neil Mason (@Neil_Mason) and Philip John (@PhilipJohn) for their invaluable role [...]

Fascinating to watch the rise of ’sociable media’ – of which Totnes Monster and coffee shop Hayley are a proud part…

It’s been a while; been ‘on the road’ of late… jobs to do, people to see, family to bury…
All of which means that I’ve missed much of the ‘buzz’ that accompanied Google’s latest concoction; stepping onto the social media toes of both FaceBook and Twitter. Or not, as the case may be.
I have to be [...]

As I look at the new pay-wall that Johnston have erected around the Northumberland Gazette, you do begin to wonder…

As one or two of you might know, we have developed something of an interest of late in events in Northumberland.
There is, after all, a chance that the initial contours of the UK’s new media landscape might be drawn out in the rolling vales beneath Hadrian’s Wall…

Today and Johnston Press boldly went where few weekly [...]

If anyone wants to know where the future of the UK’s new media landscape will be forged and decided, it’ll be in the North-East of England. Starting on Monday.

Whether by accident or design, the North-East of England is a very interesting place to be now media-wise.
That particular penny has taken a little while to drop, but events of the last 36 hours have only strengthened my feeling that over the course of the next 6-9 months, Newcastle, Sunderland and the great English-Scottish borderlands [...]

The more I see, the more I know… do I start to understand? That part of our future might not be networks, but glass silos?

‘The more I see, the more I know; the more I know, the less I understand… (P Weller, Changing Man)
So, Twitter lists.
Apologies; this involves a little story.
As the more Addiply-aware of you will have, hopefully, twigged we now have a little thang going on with the good people of TrinityMirror and their far-flung North-East, hyper-local [...]

The more I see, the more I know; the more I know, the less I understand… (P Weller, Changing Man). This, however, I do understand…

Mr Matt Waring and I have yet to come up with a catchy name; but we’re pondering doing our own conference thing come the New Year.
But it’ll have something to do with elephants. As in the big one in the room. The one no-one really likes to mention.
I suspect, like most good ideas in the [...]

OfCom sees grassroots journalism underpinning a thriving community media sector? Fine, now put your money where you mouth is. On the streets of Alnwick, Ashington, Amber…

It’s been a while. Apologies. Had jobs to do; people to see.
Suffice to say that last week was ‘one for the album’; but for the likes of ‘Mr Darcy’, AJ, Yvonne, Jas and everyone else on the ITU Dept at the N&N the Old Dear wouldn’t be propping herself up in bed this morning, reading [...]

Welcome to the world according to OfCom and Oliver & Ohlbaum… and the world that, I suspect, Mr Rusbridger sees…

As news emerged today that three more weekly titles were off to meet their maker…
http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2009/sep/22/trinity-mirror-weekly-closures
.. it was re-assuring to discover that OfCom were there to be found with their finger precisely on the beating pulse of this regional media nation of ours…
This is a particularly fascinating and insightful document… one to be pondered at length [...]

For me, the choice is simple… Either you give people the chance to place an ad themselves or you let others put a bag on your head…

It is a block that we walked around many moons ago…

And in the 15 months since, my knowledge of all things SEO hasn’t improved. I remain pretty wedded to this notion that if the content is good enough, your community will find you; you’ll find a place around their campfire provided you add something of [...]
