Community Reporters
Web Connect Community Reporters cover the area they live in and people they know.
Their reports feature on local websites, their own personal websites and potentially on other local media like the BBC. Reports can be in the form of words, pictures, sound and video.
For more background information on the programme go to Web Connect Community Reporters. You can read some sample community reporter stories at our community reporter website at www.mywebconnect.info You can also see samples of other community reporters' blogs and sign up for a blog of your own as part of our community reporter programme.
