I enjoyed reading its good news stories and celebrations of our local community and now I've moved out if its distribution area I really miss it. When I started receiving the Fulham Chronicle I found it unneccesarily critical, negative and one of the worst culprits of media scare-mongering I had ever read. It wasn't worth my time and started going straight in the bin. <br /><br />H&F News was a well written and enjoyable read and a great way of keeping our local council to account. Yes it was one-sided, but it was a refreshingly jolly print and a great way of tackling apathy by communicating with voters about positive differences the council can make. Fulham Chronicle and even this blog are also one-sided. There are always going to be people who are in favour or against every political issue. I always read a variety of news sources to ensure a balanced view of the 'facts' before making up my mind on an issue. I don't agree with the proposed re-developments but I'm glad to have had the opportunity to read the Council and Tessa Maison's views in H&F News and come to this conclusion myself. Now with only the Fulham Chronicle to read I won't get both sides of the story and moreover, I'll only get to hear the horror stories from the Borough. <br /><br />The H&F News may only show one rose-tinted-spectacled side but I read it as a council newsletter and treated the 'news' I was reading as such. The Fulham Chronicle more than balanced it out with criticism (sometimes just for criticism sake). Without H&F News we will be misled to believe that nothing and nobody good does anything in our Borough.Kirstynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131658095945044290.post-42443482983106685612010-11-04T17:08:22.669+00:002010-11-04T17:08:22.669+00:00I was pleased to read you blog on this subject (an...I was pleased to read you blog on this subject (and somewhat bemused by the choice of illustration).<br /> <br />I had thought very much the same when I read the two reports on the Shepherds Bush market and on the Townhall redevelopment. Having heard directly from market stall holders about their concerns as well as from residents who have signed the ‘Save our Skyline’ petition (some from south of the river as it is very much their view that will be affected), I know for a fact that the H & F News have been economic with the truth.Merlene Emerson, Parliamentary Spokesperson for Hammersmithnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131658095945044290.post-58113238312515735292010-11-04T17:02:52.950+00:002010-11-04T17:02:52.950+00:00Well pickled.
