http://chrishaydon.blog.co.uk/I am a media practitioner and especially interested in the positive potential of media when practised, taught, published and consumed on a local basis. Whilst much in the mainstream has enormous potential to entertain and even occasionally to add usefully to the sum of human experience, much does not. In ten years working within the field of community media I have yet to feel anything negative about it. That is a serious claim. My submissions to the blog are likely always to revolve around my concerns for the way in which Government in the UK is detached from the citizen, leans instinctively and ever more determinedly towards control and authoritarianism. Not a bright prospect.en-UKhttp://backend.userland.com/rss092http://chrishaydon.blog.co.uk/http://data5.blog.de/design/preview/0f/c8c6cc8610d9162c8b0b0395a0ebed_160x200.jpgHaving been a hack you end up privvy to information that cannot be reported on but even the worst of us know that if you print something you could really do with having the facts to back it up. Be it on your own head if you don't.http://chrishaydon.blog.co.uk/2006/01/26/uk_media_goes_mad~508659/#c610991Thu, 26 Jan 2006 20:25:33 +0100really interseting will be looking in when have more time.http://chrishaydon.blog.co.uk/2005/12/10/being_a_new_blogger~376191/#c407680Sat, 10 Dec 2005 19:25:34 +0100
