Pledge “FoIblog”

More details
WhatDoTheyKnow is an amazing treasure trove of interesting information about various public sector organisations but I think a blog that pinpoints FoI responses of particular interest would help to provide a filter for that information, and would help to disseminate the best bits.
I am professional journalist with only about enough time to do one or two such posts a week, but if there were a few of us working on it, we could hopefully create enough content to make it worth visiting on a regular basis.
It's just a thought at the moment, though; get in touch.
- make my voice heard and help young people’s views to get noticed. When I have an opinion on a news story, I will voice it in the media by commenting online, writing to editors of papers or magazines, or calling in to TV or radio programmes. It’s our news too.
- donate one pound to the International Red Cross for each of the 26 Anglican bishops sitting in the House of Lords who completes the Sober Survey
- run at least 20 miles each week until April 5th,
- donate £20 to help Glasgow's Green Party candidates in the 2010 Westminster election
