UK independent news sources mapped

Posted in Community, Journalism by sarahhartley on February 25, 2009

On his Countervalue blog, the Telegraph’s Justin Williams is mapping independent news sources. Via the blog and Twitter (@justin_williams) he’s collecting examples of local news websites not produced by any organisation with a newspaper, radio or television company and has so far plotted the providers below.
What struck me was how few sites have been identified in the north (and Scotland).
I’ve a feeling that maybe as more to do with the knowledge of those providing the initial information as the situation on the ground.

I’m hoping that by publishing it here and tweeting it about, some more sources from the crowd will continue to build on this fascinating insight into the current state of community journalism.

Thanks to Twitter chums @craigmcginty and @andydickinson for the pointer.
