Mainstream journalists launch online news site. I’ve been noticing a few stories like this where journos who have either been retired by news orgs or who are just disillusioned with the state of mainstream news gathering are setting up their own collectives. It’s an interesting trend since news is really just a sideline of newspapers, providing content for the adverts to sit next to. This attempts to switch the balance a bit. ta Jo

About this site
In June 2000 I started blogging at peteashton.com and 10 years later in June 2010 I decided to stop. Blogging here, that is. I started a clean slate over on I Am Pete Ashton and maintain all manner of other web presences which are all listed here along with my contact details.
You probably came here via a Google search or from following a link on some old blog post somewhere. I hope what you find is useful in some way, though do check the publication date - it might be rather old now.
Thanks for your eyeballs.

In a smaller way our own Adrian Goldberg is doing a good job of provding an independent journalistic presence in the area:
