It is never good when a local paper can't spell the name of one of the areas it
reports on, as in the headline to this story. 'Walthamstow', please, not
'Waltamstow'.

...which has more to do with shortage of reporters - experienced reporters with
good local contacts - than with the levels of crime in the borough.
Crime stores are quick and easy to produce. This version of a good news story is
straight out of a press release. Where is the interview with the composer? What
did the musicians and the audience think about it? When was the group formed
and where is it based? What else was on the bill at he Stow Festival?
Where are the investigative reports that the Guardian used to be noted for? What
decisions are bing taken by our council that affect all our lives? And when
garnered from a press release, what are the opposition and alternative views?
What are we told about the Woodside Area Action Plan that was the subject of a
thorny meeting last night - and fr that matter, the Blackhorse Road AAP, the High
Street AAP and so on? Whatever happened to the final report on all the asbestos
that closed the new St Mary's School in Brooke Road for a whole year - and did
anyone lose his/her job for failing to spot it while the building was occupied by
other schools?

Nick Davies's book Flat Earth News is very good on what has happened to
contemporary journalism.
There are fewer and fewer journalists and more and more press officers. Spin
doctors now ountnumber reporters.
Investigative journalism has withered, to the enormous benefit of the powerful and
the corrupt.
Press releases increasingly replace original reporting. This doesn't happen just at
a local level. The BBC has an appalling record of recycling "news" from vested
interests.
Sadly, the internet has destroyed newspapers, which have cut their own throats by
putting their content online free.
It's a great shame that this local newspaper is now a very pale shadow of what it
once was.
The paucity of reporting benefits the council, which increasingly has a monopoly
on information via its massively subsidised fortnightly propaganda rag.

I hope this symphony was as good as Grayson Perry's Walthamstow Tapestry,
with its vomiting drunks.
'Strung Out' sounds a good title. Lots of dissonance and shirkeing violins I hope.

Don't blame the newspaper, people. The WF Guardian has supported a lot of local
campaigns over the years and is still the main source of information about what
our lousy council gets up to. The comment section on online news stories allows
knowledgeable local activists to give further information.
But it's done on a tiny budget, because they've lots much of their income from
advertising. That's partly because of the endless recession, partly because all
traditional media have been hit by competition from the Internet.
In Waltham Forest, it's also because, though councils are legally obliged to
publish official notices eg planning applications in the local press, Waltham
Forest council puts them in its propaganda freesheet instead.
Local newspaper budgets have shrunk so much that one reporter has
responsibility for an area previously covered by four to six staff. So don't blame
them for not being superhuman! (And no, I don't work for a newspaper! But I do
appreciate what they do for local campaigns.)

I don't blame the reporters, Walthamster. But I also don't kid myself that this still a
campaigning newspaper or that its reports on our local council are anything but
rehashes of press releases or stories they were spoonfed from other sources.

Helen, I certainly depend on this newspaper to find out what this council is getting
away with.
Where else would we read this?:
"Over 500 student flats, nearly 500 private rental units and over 1000sqm of
commercial office space will be part of the new “urban village” in Blackhorse Lane,
Walthamstow.
...The amount of people living on the site far exceeds the amount set down in the
London plan, a planning blue-print for the city, which could lead to local services
being overwhelmed.
.... In an astonishing administrative error, committee members had not received
the relevant documents until the start of the meeting, leaving members ill
equipped to make an informed decision."

That report has been removed, Walthamster - presumably to be revised, since it
was obviously a rehash of a Conservative press release. If the reporter had been
at the planning meeting, as would have been the case in the past, the report
would have at least had some balance.

They don't even do that, Walthamster. WF News is not even a newspaper in legal
terms, and the council has ignored the law for years.
What their (our) liability would be if an aggrieved party sued for loss caused by an
unadvertised development may be imagined.
It's sad to see a trusted local paper become hollowed-out in this way, but the
question for us is whether essential local news gets circulated via other means.
The publishing group may think that it has a safe monopolistic niche that will not
suffer if service is reduced; if so, they are being complacent. We seem to be in the
early, rather chaotic and uncertain, days of a revival of grassroots networks,
judging by the growth of local-interest google groups, websites and Facebook
pages. It's a very different phenomenon from a 'paper of record', but there are
some reasons for optimism. The next step is to discover whether would-be
journalists can carve a living out of this on-line culture, which is essential if
consistency of coverage is to be maintained.

They seem to promote every private event free of charge when before the internet
