Old Holborn joins #Blottr

 

I’m not a professional blogger orjournalist and I don’t carry advertising because I believe the industry of “news”and “comment” is changing dramatically.

We know we can’t trust the media,politicians or lobbyists yet we trust our own eyes and ears to disseminate thevast quantity of information made available to us via the Internet. Everyday,stories and scandals break on Twitter long before media spin doctors and alliedEditors can manipulate the news to their own ends. The mainstream media and inparticular, the dead tree press can no longer count on a readership drip fed morselsto please their appetites. They are demanding more. Not just news, but a voicein how that news is broadcast.

We’ve set up blogs, we leave angry andcritical comments wherever we can, we analyse in real time, we research our ownfacts and reach our own conclusions.

So I am delighted to have been offered a twice weekly column on Britain’snewest “Citizen Journalist” platform, Blottr. I will take my vitriol andPolitical disdain to a wider audience and in return, hopefully hold yet more ofour Politicians to account. You too have the option to add your own articlesfor publication, break important news and reviews spread your voice to themasses.

So what are you waiting for?
