So I quit my job to set up Talk About Local…

14th April 2009 by William Perrin

…and am now back and posting again after an inter-job vacation. Some posts will follow over the next few days as i catch up with the mainstream media catching up on the problems in commercial local media.  I shall also be rejigging this blog a fair bit to be a pre launch Talk About Local.

But this codemy gem as trad media meets new media from The Landline sets the tone. They should do a follow up for when TV and film meet YouTube.

Thanks to the countless people who have tweeted this my way.

    It’s a great initiative Will and I know you’ll make it work like you did in King Cross. Hyper-local goes national!
