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