Gary Copitch the Director of MCIN travelled down to London along with Dave Carter (MDDA), Vin Sumner ( Clicks and Links) and Cathy Garner (Knowledge Capital) to present the One Manchester Digital Challenge bid. The presentation and questions were challenging but as a team we managed to answer them. We can only know wait and see. MCIN s being heavily involved in the Digital Challenge bid from the beginning and is an active supporter of the bid. We can know only wait and see. The result will be announced on March 13th by Angela Smith MP.

We are working with lots of local people to develop web based content. The problem is how you develop a sustainable model. Could content that is produced be sold? If so how and what is the market. Any ideas?

MCIN is currently developing community reporters. These are local people who can talk about there experiences , or tell people things such as how to cook a particular dish or produce a match report for the local school football team or write an article about a local event. We are having a debate about weather to call the community reporters or community journalists. I think the difference is that community reporters could be opinions or more magazine type content rather than community journalists which is story based and more balanced. I am interested if other people see a difference?
