David Floyd,

Met with Hugh Chappell

We publish five local newspapers based on a new, sustainable social enterprise model for local news publishing. They are:

Haringey Community Press

It was great to have the benefit of hearing about Hugh’s experience in building media organisations – particularly in terms of forming relationships with brands based on sponsorship for high quality contact. The discussion gave me a lot to think in terms of ways that we could take similar approaches with local businesses and agencies.
