[cma-l] Do you have a good relationship with your local press?

[Pauline Murphy]

Hi
I recently had a conversation with our local press (free papers) that are
delivered to the community. They never print any of the positive things
that happen within the community including all the good work that the
community radio delivers. If we have a drugs raid, murder or benefit fraud
etc it is covered by swarms of press.
People like to have the good news and especially like to read about what is
happening in their own community but it is always glum.
Lets have some positive reading from papers is what I say
Pauline
