[cma-l] Register Your Place - £2.5M Funding Available for Hyperlocal Media projects

[RJ THORNE]

I think that's an insult to secondary school work-experience kids. And I think I could take a fair guess at what it means.

I would suggest -"We have already identified a couple of our favourite projects to which we want to give this money. We have targeted the blurb very carefully so that it fits them exactly and everyone else is put off applying."

Of course it could just me being cynical. Perish the thought.

Well said Roy.
Why do otherwise responsible organisations use seconday school work-experience kids to write their Press releases?

"but all are intended to develop the kinds of enabling technologies, platforms and services which build up the businesses of the future and help the UK to become a world-centre for hyperlocal media."
 
What is this nonsense. They may have £2.5 millions but it is very worrying that they cannot write a simple plain English proposal.
