Start Spreading The News: The new community media blog from Social Spider
21st December 2018
Social Spider have finally taken the plunge and launched a new blog ‘Start Spreading the News’ over at medium.com to document our community media work. Says Anna Merryfield, Project and Research Manager: “David and I decided it was about time that we set up a Social Spider Community Media blog so that we could shout about all the great work we’re doing.”
Just part of the Social Spider Team involved in our community media work, in their new blog home at medium.com
The blog will cover issues and stories related to publishing Social Spider’s three community newspapers as well as wider discussion and examination of issues around local democracy, news and the business of making sustainable community media.
