Really proud to know @davidfloydnews.bsky.social and so impressed by what he and the team at Social Spider CIC are doing. Have a read of this article - it’ll just take 2 minutes - and have a think about how you could support brilliant local journalism.

Another example of the massively challenging situation facing local news publishers in London. We at Social Spider are doing are best to buck the trend but it's not easy!

Thanks!
