Ian Green: RIP: Liverpool Daily Post
http://greengathering.blogspot.com/2013/12/rip-liverpool-daily-post.html
RIP: Liverpool Daily Post. Today the last edition of the Liverpool Daily Post. After 158 years – it’s a very sad day for regional journalism. The Daily Post, a pioneering newspaper that challenged the decision makers of the city and Merseyside, was my first newspaper where I worked for a while on the subs’ bench for the business desk. Since then I have worked on a number of regional newspapers as well as a spell on Fleet Street. 15 regionals saw a fall in circulation in excess of 20 percent. 40 saw a ris...

Another grand day out at Bradford Sprint Regatta. Hundreds of competitors and spectators from rowing clubs across the north of England descended on this year’s Bradford Sprint Regatta organised by Bradford Amateur Rowing Club (BARC), at Hirst Weir, Shipley. The 600 metre course, down a gently curving River Aire, is a popular splash-and-dash sprint regatta which attracted crews from across the North including Mersey, Tees, York City, Ancholme, Sheffield and Doncaster. Charles said: “That was a hard ...

Ice Bucket Challenge: Making a meme. The latest viral internet hit is the ‘Ice Bucket Challenge’ – you nominate someone to dump a bucket of ice water over them – which of course is filmed and posted for your networks to see online. Millions of #IceBucketChallenges later and you have a social media success. The idea was instigated to support the ALS Association, which carries out research into amyotrophic lateral sclerosis – otherwise known as motor neurone disease. Why is it a viral success? Perhaps, the...

Ian Green: Doing my bit for Grand Depart in Yorkshire
http://greengathering.blogspot.com/2014/07/doing-my-bit-for-grand-depart-in.html
Doing my bit for Grand Depart in Yorkshire. Standing in a steady down-pour of rain that only Leeds could supply in late May, I and more than 5,000 other Grand Depart Tour Makers marshalled outside the Firstdirect Arena, waiting patiently for a full-sodden hour to be allowed to find out what we had volunteered for. But still the rain came down. So why did I volunteer to be a Tour Maker? But what impressed me most was the Game Makers – an army of volunteers who had sacrificed their own time and resou...

Now applying social software. May 11, 2008. BBC iPlayer Accessibility Update and Comments. Since I last blogged about the BBC's iPlayer. There's been developments but the access still leaves a lot to be desired. Sign Zone now has a category of its own. People might remember that I complained about the trying. To find a needle in the haystack. When attempting to source signed programmes. The BBC's Access 2.0 picked up on my comments in this blog post. It seems the BBC has finally listened (yay!
