Media Presence 2

http://voiceforchildren.blogspot.com/2009/01/deputy-hill-calls-time-on-crown.html

Just a note that Voice for Children (see above) is doing his bit for democracy by another good interview with Deputy Hill.

The link is above; it is a 2 min 40 seconds interview which asks the Deputy to explain the background behind his proposition.

"Voice" is providing a unique service that we don't otherwise get. True, there are video interviews about topical high-profile issues on Channel Television, but there are often other propositions which go through the States, and we don't get the chance to hear about the background of those. Voice provides an opportunity for the States member to explain the proposition to the public,  and this is a small-scale, but potentially wide distribution that helps us understand the issues. And we can come back to it in a weeks time, or just before the debate. It is what a blog can do very well, but other media outlets, being more ephemeral in the duration of their material, cannot do. A notable voice not just for children, but for the public at large!

Phil Rondel next please, on P181/2008/Ministerial government: review?

Tony.

Thanks for the plug. Infortunately the Blogsite only allows 100MB (whatever that is) of video to be uploaded. I would like to put up more indepth, longer interviews.

This I am hoping will be remedied by the end of next week.

For too long our local Media have had it too good and appear to be very complacent. They are only delivering us soundbites and burying anything that might "rock the boat" IMO.

I will be delivering more indepth stuff very soon and thanks for your encouraging words.

p.s.

I have had a look at Deputy Rondel's proposition and see it has no date for it to be debated.

If, closer the time, Deputy Rondel agrees I will happily interview him on the subject.
