Gavin Wray on the advantages of community websites

  • 0:01 - 0:07
    One thing that community groups have as an advantage over bureaucratic organisations
  • 0:07 - 0:09
    is that when they have their own websites
  • 0:09 - 0:14
    they don't have to ask permission, they don't have to go through editorial controls
  • 0:14 - 0:17
    they can just publish what they see as important
  • 0:17 - 0:22
    Whereas a bureaucratic organisation might have these systems
  • 0:22 - 0:27
    that prevent real interesting content about really important issues getting out
  • 0:27 - 0:30
    a community group can just put it on the website that day
  • 0:30 - 0:33
    they can send it to the people that they know
  • 0:33 - 0:36
    they can get people talking about it.
  • 0:36 - 0:40
    If they were forced to be part of a council website
  • 0:40 - 0:45
    you kind of get that media centric, that controlling nature
  • 0:45 - 0:48
    and the real message of what that excluded group wanted to say
  • 0:48 -
    would get taken control of.
