MyWelshpoolTV: Is 20 plenty? The @WelshGovernment has launched its new default speed limits to town and villages in the Welshpool area today. It's created plenty of debate, and we got the local angle. @CreativeWales @ICNNUK @pingnewsuk @russ_george youtu.be/uNmO7ZHOmOQ?si=vvod…

Is 20 plenty, or is the new speed limit a step backwards for Wales?

The Welshpool area has woken up to a new 20mph default speed limit ...

We were extremely honoured earlier this year to win the @ICNNUK independent community newspaper award at the newspaper awards. It’s been a key factor to us being able to start two new publications this autumn @bushbugle @sutton_story

This has - genuinely - gone straight into my mojo training presentation. Having plenty of battery is one of the "five fundamentals" when using a smartphone for journalism. Who can name the other four? (I'm naively assuming that tweets get any interaction these days...)

And another one. The Tories know that not all newspapers are called The XX Chronicle, right?
James Mitchinson@JayMitchinson19 Jul 2023
A reader writes: "Making you aware of this fake newspaper in Selby. It fooled my other half who asked me why a local paper was supporting the Conservative candidate." This sort of devious, cynical journalistic imitation is designed to dupe you. They want to trick you. Beware.

Another example of politics masquerading as journalism. No wonder the line between real news and fake news is so blurry
HoldtheFrontPage@journalism_news19 Jul 2023
New on HTFP today: The Tories have been criticised for mimicking local papers before the Somerton and Frome by-election. Its front page features a profile of “local woman” Faye Purbrick but does not mention that she is contesting the seat for the party. holdthefrontpage.co.uk/2023/…
