The very excellent Lichfield Live - @news - has launched a new, local free newspaper in Lichfield and Burntwood.
As with many towns, Burntwood has had no local paper for years. Lichfield has fared a little better, but not much.
I've been Lichfield Live "adjacent" since the start, having been friends with the founders since the early days of Twitter.

Small #hyperlocal festivals like wyrdfest.co.uk are trying hard to keep faith with the DIY spirit, dragging souls out of the shadows, putting on bizarre & experimental & (sometimes) difficult artists in strange non-aligned spaces; several people have already said how surprised they were that we were putting this festival on HERE (of all places) when, really, this is the only place we COULD put it on. #diymusic #festival

« L’information ne devrait pas être une business comme l’industrie automobile ou les compagnies d’assurance. L’information est un bien public. L’information devrait être considérée de la même façon que l’on considère nos routes, nos aqueducs, nos écoles : des biens publics essentiels pour la société. Et de ce fait, avoir un financement public.

Je ne sais pas combien de médias devront disparaitre avant que les gens comprennent à quel point c’est toute la société qui y perd.»
