How important is local media to you?

Dan Damon Dan Damon | 21:09 UK time, Tuesday, 10 August 2010

I've spent the afternoon learning about hyperlocal multimedia sites from Ed Walker, who runs , a community site that points ahead to some of the ways online media will develop from newspapers.

It's not print, it's not local TV, it's not radio, but it's got elements of all of them.
The site breaks news too - like this video of police smashing the car window of a pensioner

Ed has some ideas on how things might be adapted for the developing world - "start with a daily text message to mobiles" he suggested.

If you're involved in local media projects for your community, we'd like to hear about it.

We'll transmit the interview with Ed Walker on World Update sometime this week, and incorporate your ideas and comments.
