It’s so dull it’s unreal.I remember one of the first things I was taught when working in local radio news was not to include the word ‘council’ in the top line of a story, as people would instantly zone out and not listen to the rest of the story.
The fact is though, they’re spending our money and need to be held accountable. A decent journalist can make a local council story relatable, relevant, and, dare I say it… interesting.
