| Yes Shelagh, I am indeed the web editor of 'the rag' and am in no way trying to hide it! I live in Ealing, used to work on the Ealing Gazette and am now in Hounslow and have always posted to and read these sites, both at work and socially, especially Acton W3, making some great contacts along the way. I'm genuinely interested in what people think about Twitter. We're not on Twitter for promotional reasons and I don't have an anvertising budget, it's there because the way the news is being told now is changing permanently and becoming much more intersting. On the flip side, local papers is are in serious danger of folding altogether, leaving people like yourself with no way of knowing what the Council/ NHS Hounslow / local buinesses are up to and nowhere for the journalists of the future to train, which I think would be a real loss, so trying to crack the internet thing is really important for us. |
