The chair of the city-centre taskforce, David McRedmond, wrote recently that the developer Ballymore has plans to “completely rebuild the Sheriff Street area”.
We’ve been working away for a while now on plans to launch a print edition, and one of the questions we grappled with is how to distribute.
We’re going to start with smallish print runs, and it would be hard to get distributors interested in that.
So, we thought we would go old school, find some second-hand coin-operated newspaper boxes, and distribute ourselves. (There was actually a middle step of trying to fashion our own using old toaster ovens, but we’ll gloss over that.)
Next step is to get out the spray paint and stencils.
On 28–29 June, we’re running five two-hour sessions aiming to offer skills and knowledge useful to journalists, and others trying to make the city a better place.
