I think there's some scope for European Alliancing as I've blogged here about the Media Coaches I met recently at a European conference.
Hi Dan, thanks for raising the 'legal' issue.
Firstly, Will thanks for linking to my blog piece about hyperlocals and local government. This came out of the excellent Talk About Local unconference in Stoke recently. There, as here, I am more of an interested observer rather than a hyperlocal bl…
Will - I'm with you on much of the anti-journo rant .... and believe that focussing on the bundle of current skills and values needed to do good stuff is what's important. I think we may be able to rehabilitate the honest trade of reporter though. H…
I like:

Here are the values that we've already drafted up for The Lichfield Blog;
- Independent of business, government, politics
- Community-focused
