Everyone has something to say - about where they live, what they're experiencing, and what they want to see happen. Our Community Reporters’ programme gives people a platform to tell these stories online.
We work with individuals from all kinds of communities to give them a voice and build their confidence in the use of social media tools.
Reporters learn how to produce content with new social media such as blogs, podcasts, films and wikis, and use everything from mobile phones to video cameras and webcams. Stories are distributed through our online networks, meaning that those voices can be heard by anyone online.
Community reporters can be local active individuals or participants in our training programmes.

992.Spinningfields summer music: Is it just me…(Thursday 26th of June 2008 08:49:12 PM

… or does the ad on the back of this week’s UrbanLife state the obvious about string quartets?
Anyway, hair-splitting aside, this weekend’s free Spinningfields summer music concerts sound great, especially Litmus who ‘recreate music by famous Manchester bands including Oasis, Joy Divison, James and The Smiths’. More information...

996.Chorlton Beer Festival 08 at St Clement’s Church(Wednesday 25th of June 2008 10:39:23 AM
2 years, 2 months ago )
I’m also getting plenty of traffic from people desperate for news on this year’s Chorlton Beer Festival. The host church, St Clement’s on Hardy Lane, hasn’t updated its website since last July, which is leading to some confusion.
Thankfully, however, there’s good news: Chorlton Beer Festival will return for its...

I’ve been getting a number of hits lately for “zorbing Manchester”, something I mentioned briefly last September.
For those who think that rolling downhill at 60kmph in a giant plastic bubble is a Good Idea (it’s supposedly a summer pursuit after all), you’ll be glad to hear that the...

The annual competition, hosted by Urbis, ‘celebrates innovation in art, music and fashion’. This deliberately broad scope means art,...
