A few quotes from the Metro News team:
Kimberley Vinnell: “That’s exactly what we aim to do; be the voice of the public, tell their stories and get the information that affects them. It’s also a perfect opportunity for Cantabrians to voice their opinions to a wide audience.”
Scarlett Civitanovich: “The most important part of a community news programme is the community. So we are asking for any ideas they may have – any upcoming events, any issues the feel passionately about; basically, if there is a bee in your bonnet, we want to hear about it.”
Nina Burton: “I don’t think people are exposed to enough community news and as a consequence they are naive about community issues. Hopefully we can turn that around a bit.”
