There are fewer local reporters and less local reporting of what is on the ground. News is being a lot more centralised and less focussed on local issues therefore we have to move with the times.<br \/>\n\u201cWith the Web I know what is happening in other parts of the world but I do not know what is happening on my street which is why I think this type of project is important. This project is for you, the members of the Grangetown community. We want to help move Grangetown news forward because everyone is not going to be online.\u201d<br \/>\nThe hope is that residents will volunteer by editing, writing and updating the social media sites working as much or as little as they wanted.<br \/>\nCouncillor Chris Lomax, who attended the event, said: \u201cWe hope to publish four times a year as it will bring local people together. Not everyone is interested in the same things but there is something for everyone. Examples of this include the local history society and things like gardening projects that are happening in our town. The news we write about is the cohesion of the community. We all belong together and the newspaper\u00a0reflects this. Meeting here tonight is how we get people involved.\u201d<br \/>\nAshley Lister, 22, of Clive Street, secretary of Grangetown Community Action, said: \u201cThe publication of more newspapers and updating our website is good because not everyone is on social media or online. I make sure there is a good balance and make sure things get published. A lot of stories are from schools and sports groups but we want to expand and publish other things with the launch of this new newspaper.\u201d<br \/>\nThe community journalism department will train volunteers in\u00a0photography, IT and transferable skills.<br \/>\nMrs Meese said: \u201cWe are here to listen to what you want, not tell you what to do. You can get involved by delivering newsletters or you can even write or help with the online aspects as well and we will deliver help accordingly.\u201d<br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8430\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8430\" style=\"width: 225px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/cardiffian.jomec.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_1728-copy.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-8430 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/cardiffian.jomec.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_1728-copy-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_1728 copy\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8430\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8430 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/cardiffian.jomec.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_1728-copy-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_1728 copy\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/noscript><\/a> <strong>The newspaper launch at \u00a0Grangetown community hub<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\nOver\u00a0the years the magazine could be picked up for free from the library or delivered to their homes. Sean Kisby, a civil servant of Tynant Street, has been delivering newsletters around\u00a0Grangetown for years.<br \/>\n\u201cBy delivering the news I feel like I am taking part in the community again. I have lived in Grangetown for over 20 years and do this because I feel I should be playing a bigger part and should be engaging and finding out who my neighbours are in the community,\u201d he said.<br \/>\nBobby Singh, a 26-year-old youth and community worker of York Street, said: \u201cI have decided to get involved today because I care about people and the issues in the area. I am actually from Canton but offer my services to the community. This project is appealing and a good way for the younger generation to get involved.\u201d<br \/>\nGraduate Clement Williams, 23, of Richards Terrace, said: \u201cI feel my background in journalism will help and as a member of this community I think the idea of expanding the newspaper of Grangetown is really important and a great way to get everyone together and be a part of something big.\u201d<br \/>\nGrangetown Community Action would like more volunteers. A second meeting will be held in the library hub on February 18 at 7pm.<br \/>\nOr email\u00a0grangetowncardiff@yahoo.co.uk or follow their twitter handle on @GrangeCardiff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GRANGETOWN residents are launching a free paper to improve coverage of community\u00a0news in their area.
