    I agree that what is missing is the resources that the media enjoy, as well as those of educational establishments and local councils, are not being opened up to citizens.

    Where are the initiatives with local community groups and charitable organisations to provide them with the tools to keep people in touch with what’s going on close to them?

    One of the most interesting examples of a newspaper giving back to those who have helped them write stories in the past was recently featured in the International Herald Tribune.
