ARE YOU INTERESTED IN BECOMING A COMMUNITY JOURNALIST?
If you are interested in writing about local issues please get in touch with the Evington Echo, as we need more journalists or reporters to cover local news, events and views. The next meeting for Echo ‘writers’ or ‘would be writers’ will be on Wednesday 22nd February at 7.00pm to discuss the next issue. Please telephone 2204525 for more information and details of the venue.
Meanwhile check out the resources available for citizen journalists at www.citizenseye.org This website gives you information about the Leicester Community Media Centre and the projects taking place there. You can also e-mail editor@citizenseye.org for advice and information about becoming a Community Journalist.
Also, check out newsnet.mediatrust.org which launched in January and is an exciting online project from Media Trust that aims to create a UK wide community of community reporters, citizen journalists and local storytellers and give them the tools and skills to get more from their local news.
