The Internet affords cheap, easy access to priceless information. But local news coverage is a casualty of its rise.
Damian Radcliffe's insight:
"It would be nice to think that citizen journalists could simply step into the breach, empowered by the tools the web provides. Perhaps that will occur in future years more than is now the case. But show me a local newspaper that has laid off a significant number of editors and beat reporters, and I'll show you a city where a lot of institutional knowledge, built at great cost over many years, was suddenly, perhaps irrevocably lost; where even skilled citizen journalists have a hard time filling the breach, because unlike local newspapers they aren't backed by an lawyer on retainer to sue when the city attorney won't fill the public records request, and they lack institutional heft to secure access to officials who can ignore Jane Blogger a lot more easily than a broadsheet that prints daily editorials, endorses candidates, and has institutional authority."

Damian Radcliffe's insight:
The Local Audit and Accountability Bill announced in the Queen’s Speech yesterday (Wednesday) is to “tackle town hall pravdas” and “deliver the Coalition Agreement pledge to impose tougher rules to protect the independent free press from unfair competition by town hall newspapers and propaganda.” The Bill “would strengthen the legal status of the existing Code of Recommended Practice on Local Authority Publicity, which some councils are currently ignoring. Healthy local democracy requires robust scrutiny by an independent local press.”
Commenting on the Bill, Communities Secretary Eric Pickles said: “This government is reining in the quango state, saving taxpayers’ money and giving more power to local people. This bill extends the government’s localism agenda - ensuring robust scrutiny of council spending, strengthening the role of direct democracy and protecting an independent free press.” Delete the scoop?
