New one from me. Come on, all you writers
With the mainstream media steadily moving to the right, it is more urgent than ever that we have independent, ethical media outlets willing to speak truth to power. Citizen journalism can be a powerful force for good and James Joughin issues a call to arms in his piece for @sussexbylines.co.uk
Come writers and critics throughout the land, editors too, come lend a hand

Well done, Sussex Bylines. Excellent analysis and the issue is urgent.

Did you get to hear the #Beatles play live in the 1960s? The people who did are a dwindling band - and @jpjoughin.bsky.social gets to talk to three of them in his latest piece for @sussexbylines.bsky.social : sussexbylines.co.uk/community/cu...
The witnesses
There are people walking among us who saw the Beatles play live some 60 years ago. We track down three of them

Yes, we should investigate

You mean the reviewer’s style? I thought that was okay. The lives they had were a kind of horror though.
