Pits n Pots was an independent news site which focused on the Stoke-on-Trent political scene. Until it ceased publication in August 2012, the site promoted and actively encouraged comment and debate on the political stories it published. Several Stoke-on-Trent councillors contributed to the site with comments or by having their blogs republished to the site. ==History== Although not classed as traditional media, the site was featured on BBC News Online,〔(The fight for a right to report ) BBC〕 was mentioned in Hansard〔(Hansard ) 13 Jan 2010〕 and at the future for local and regional media sub committee.〔(The future for local and regional media ) Tuesday 8 December, at 11:40 am〕 The site founder Tony Walley has spoken on BBC Breakfast News & Radio France about the site and what is commonly termed hyperlocal publishing. Pits n Pots published the story about the British National Party (BNP) using a Polish Spitfire〔(They’re taking our Spitfires! ) Pits n Pots〕 on their posters some 5 days before the national press picked it up. On 1 August 2011 Tony Walley published a blog 〔(And It's Goodnight From Him )〕 announcing that he was ending his involvement with the site, citing other projects pertaining to his radio broadcasting interests as his reasons for leaving. The site then took a short break from August until late October 2011, when the remaining member of the founding editorial team, Mike Rawlins started to publish articles again. On 5 December 2011 Mike Rawlins published an article 〔(Pits n Pots Supported By The Journalism Foundation )〕 announcing that Pits n Pots was being supported by the newly formed Journalism Foundation.〔(Think local, act local: citizen journalism in Stoke-on-Trent )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pits n Pots」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
