It’s also not clear when these councillors were saying these quotes, although the councillors title and ward are always attached.” [...] [...] The Lancashire Evening Post didn’t fare quite so well with little direct council coverage found and a lack of questioning arising in the comments, leading Ed Walker to the conclusion. “Like others I’ve been finding there is little reporting of council meetings, more stories are created from council press releases and then a few quotes from councillors.

You should sign up to Help Me Investigate and do the Lancs Telegraph and help contribute to the investigation. I think it's going to turn up some interesting results, especially if any newspaper groups are bidding for funding on the basis of 'local democracy coverage' etc. Ed Hi Simon,

Thanks for the comment, I agree – not enough questioning. You should sign up to Help Me Investigate and do the Lancs Telegraph and help contribute to the investigation. I think it’s going to turn up some interesting results, especially if any newspaper groups are bidding for funding on the basis of ‘local democracy coverage’ etc.

Regularly keep updated with the Lancs Telegraph also, and there's little, if any questioning of Blackburn council. Lots of what appears to be re-written press-releases. Shody state of affairs! Hey there

Came across your blog. Regularly keep updated with the Lancs Telegraph also, and there’s little, if any questioning of Blackburn council. Lots of what appears to be re-written press-releases.

Shody state of affairs!
